An Agave Sweetened Orange Liqueur in a first-of-its-kind patented bottle
Seattle, WASH., October 6, 2017 – Grandeza Premium Orange Liqueur is proud to announce the highly-anticipated launch of its meticulously crafted spirit, packaged in an innovative, patented bottle.
In 2014, Bernie Garcia, President and owner of Moctezuma’s Mexican Restaurant & Tequila Bar, conceived an idea for an upside-down orange liqueur sidecar bottle that could be hung on the rim of a glass. The concept served as an effective and cool way to control the flow of the liqueur in the margarita as well as provide a visually interesting element to the drink.
“After patiently waiting for over a year, our patent was finally approved,” said Garcia. “And seeing the immediate popularity of our sidecar bottle, we knew we were on to something special.”
The innovation and originality worked. In just one year after incorporating the bottle into their cocktail program, his restaurants sold thousands of margaritas featuring the mini sidecar bottle and soon started garnering attention on social media. In the year that followed, they began researching, sourcing ingredients and testing recipes for the ultimate premium orange liqueur.
“In our restaurants, we pride ourselves on sourcing the best ingredients possible,” said Garcia. “We couldn’t find a quality orange liqueur to pair with our top-shelf margaritas. We wanted to create something better.”
After years devoted to design and development, Garcia’s concept had become a reality: Grandeza Premium Orange Liqueur.
The finished product is a rich, authentic orange liqueur developed with the finest natural flavors of Mexico. Its flavor profile of bitter orange peels, sweet agave nectar, and a hint of vanilla make it the perfect complement to a margarita; it won’t overpower or mask your high-quality tequila the way cognac or brandy-based orange liqueurs do. Whether you’re mixing a top-shelf Margarita or crafting a truly original Mai Tai, Grandeza Premium Orange Liqueur is the perfect touch - combining an innovative presentation with a premium spirit.
Garcia has hopes to bring new life to how margaritas are crafted in Washington and anticipates expanding the brand nationally. Grandeza makes its formal debut into Seattle’s cocktail scene in early October 2017 and will be distributed through Washington’s largest spirits distributor, Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits.
