So, i just tried the recipe two different ways.  The first was 
1/2 oz Orange Grey Goose
1 oz Godiva Dark
1/2 oz Grand Marnier

and the second was
1 oz Godiva Dark
1/2 oz Cointreau

both with a splash of cream, which takes the edge off nicely.
The first tasted good, but was a little strong and a little two heavy on the 
orange flavor, I was going for chocolate with orange flair.  And, you can tell 
the first one has the cognac based Grand Marnier in it.  The second one 
without the vodka is easier to drink, and has slightly less orange flavor to 
it, as well as having a lighter orange flavor.  All in all, I prefer the 
lighter orange flavor of the cointreau and the less orange flavor with little 
or no orange vodka.
