What would be a good and simple sub for cointreau? I'd love to use it, but can't. Rum? Brandy? Orange zest? How much?

Grand marnier would work well although it's a little sweeter.

vvvanessa · Answer

can you get hold of triple sec?  that would work in equal measure.  antoniajames's idea sounds great, too!

AntoniaJames · Answer

Brandy + orange zest combination sounds really good!! Maybe let the zest sit in the brandy to infuse for a few minutes first, and perhaps warm it ever so gently to release some of the bright citrus flavor.  Have fun! (Lucky you. Sounds so tasty!!)  ;o)
