La Vie En Rouge translates to "Life in Red" and this is not only a fitting name for the color of the cocktail but appropriate for the 2009 limited edition bottle of Grand Marnier, which is a stunning bottle design.
The drink is a refreshing and simple mix of cranberry and Grand Marnier, enhanced with the sweet aroma and flavor of rosemary. These three flavors come together for a delightful holiday cocktail that is sure to be a favorite at any Christmas gathering.
