GALLIANO LIQUEUR RECIPE

This is very simailar to "the real stuff". It does call for glycerine. In the 90's, when I lived in the states, you could buy glycerine at the drug stores. I don't know if you still can find it there. Galliano is a "must" in Harvey Wallbangers! Yield: approximate. I don't know where this recipe comes from.

GALLIANO TWIST

I have a bottle of Galliano, and none of the mixers I could find that other recipes called for to go with it. So I improvised and came up with a nice lite aperitif. Freshies™ Sweet and Sour mix is the only one I'd use, or Stirrings® Lemon Drop. The quality fresh ingredients and lack of fillers or preservatives is vital to maintain the purity of Galliano, and to keep it in context of it's digestive properties.
