Galliano has a sweet, vanilla-anise flavor that pairs well with the chocolate flavor of the creme de cacao. A dash of cream adds richness to the cocktail.

recipe tips


Use high-quality ingredients for cocktails where alcohol is the predominant flavor.

Chill your serving glass beforehand for the best flavor.

Fill the shaker with plenty of ice.

Shake vigorously to properly mix and chill the ingredients.

Strain quickly after shaking to avoid dilution from melting ice.

Experiment with the amount of cream to find the level of creaminess you prefer.

For a smoothie-like drink, shake the ingredients with a small scoop of vanilla or white chocolate ice cream instead of heavy cream.

For a frothier texture, shake the cocktail more vigorously.

Always taste and adjust the ingredients if necessary.

Enjoy alcohol responsibly.
