Grand Marnier (gr?n' m?r-nyā') is a liqueur created in 1880 by Alexandre Marnier-Lapostolle. It is a kind of triple sec, made from a blend of true cognacs, distilled essence of orange, and other ingredients.
Grand Marnier is about 40% alcohol (80 proof). It is produced in several varieties, most of which can be consumed "neat" or can be used in mixed drinks.
**************************
Triple sec is a colorless (or nearly colorless), orange-flavored liqueur used in numerous mixed drinks and recipes as a sweetening and flavoring agent.
So YES they can be interchangeable. Another you can consider is Cointreau.
