Gran Gala vs Cointreau: What’s the Difference?

Updated August 2026.

Gran Gala and Cointreau are different orange liqueurs, not a trophy pair. Both usually sit under Triple sec is flavor talk, not a separate US type. A 1.5-ounce pour at 40% would be one drink; many orange liqueurs sit lower — scale the neck. No ranking or street price.
