MANDARINE NAPOLEON
Delicious Corsican drink to honor Napoleon, who was born on Corsica. Mandarine Napoleon liqueur was created to honor Napoleon while he was alive (by a social-climbing chemist), considered a French liqueur, but it is actually produced in Belgium. It is an (38% alcohol) orange-flavored liquor with a cognac base, with a spicy orange bouquet and pale orange color. It is made with Mandarin peel from Sicily chopped fine and steeped in cognac, then filtered, then added to alcohol, sugar, 21 herbs and spices (supposedly include clove, coriander, cumin and green tea). The alcohol is distilled 3 times and aged 3 years before bottling. If you can't find Mandarine Napoleon, I would substitute Grand Marnier for the best taste, then Cointreau, or, if desperate, triple sec. But if you want to honor the great little man, buy the real stuff. Hmm, the Mandarine Napoleon has a unique taste, sweet without being cloying, but not too "sophisticated". I heartily recommend this cocktail, and spring for the real deal, you'll be glad you did.

[email protected]I'm allergic to dairy, so I substituted the milk and butter with almond milk and vegan butter. It turned out great! I'm so happy I can still enjoy this delicious dessert.

[email protected]This recipe takes me back to my childhood. My grandmother used to make the best Napoleon cakes. I'm so glad I found this recipe. It's just as good as hers.

[email protected]Disappointing. The custard was too runny and the puff pastry was soggy. I think I might have overcooked it.

[email protected]The recipe is easy to follow, but it's very time-consuming. I spent almost 3 hours making it. But it was worth it! The Napoleon was a showstopper.
Natasha Diana
[email protected]Good, but a bit too sweet for my taste. I think next time I'll use less sugar in the custard.

[email protected]Delicious! The combination of textures and flavors is fantastic. The custard is rich and creamy, the mandarins are sweet and tangy, and the puff pastry is light and flaky. I highly recommend this recipe.
