Actually, if you want to get really, really specific, I don't think that 
Grand Marnier is considered part of the Curacao family, because #1, it's not 
made with a neutral, grain alcohol base, it's made from cognac.  And #2, I 
remember reading that they macerate a different kind of orange peel as opposed 
to the curacao orange.  But, I could be wrong.
Have a good'un.
