Cointreau vs grand marnier?
Cointreau vs Grand Marnier? Both are liquours. Orange flavored liquours. Grand Marnier is about twice as sweet ounce for ounce at Cointreau and so for a margarita the lime juice should be twice as much for the G.M. They both work for a good margarita as long as the tequila is 100% agave plant and either blanco (unaged) or reposado (just a few months.) Never use "gold" -- artificial coloring. Ugh!. Aside: G.M. is made from a base of Cognac, for what that is worth. I recommend trying both in a margarita and finding what you prefer. Try to avoid generic triple sec, since it is very sweet and not subtle. My favorite is Cointreau, because of it's dry and subtle flavor. You can also try Cointreau on strawberries.

Can triple sec subsitute for grenadine?
They do not have anything in common other than a high sugar content. Triple Sec is a liqueur made of orange rinds and although it is way less sweet than its cousin Curacao it is still quite sweet. Being that it is quite sweet and has a citrus flavor it would probably be a good addition to any drink calling for grenadine but is not one bit close in flavor to it at all. Grenadine is a syrup made from the juice of the pomegranate (although often just a light sugar syrup dyed red with a touch of acetic acid added) Also keep in mind grenadine is non-alcoholic, Triple Sec is not.
