Grand Cafe Latte

Ingredients:

1 1/3 oz. Grand Marnier
6 oz. Milk (hot)
1 oz. Espresso

Instructions:

Grand Marnier takes this unctuous coffee to new heights with its subtle, oaked vanilla notes of aged cognac and its delicate orange flavor.  A delectable yet subtle break!
Combine and serve in a tall glass.
If you have a coffee machine with a steam nozzle, use it to heat and spoon the foam delicately atop the coffee.  For thick, unctuous foam, use whole milk rather then skimmed.
