Milano Cocktail

The Milano Cocktail gets its vivid yellow color from Galliano

The Milano Cocktail is a fascinating mix of flavors. It features equal parts gin, Galliano and lemon juice.

Flying Tiger

Orange Flying Tiger cocktail against a gray background

The Flying Tiger cocktail requires an open mind. After all, orange juice and creme de menthe? That doesn’t sound right. But therein lies the magic of mixology. With vodka diluting the other flavors and Galliano “marrying” them, you can blend these flavors into a drink that works surprisingly well. The orange juice remains the dominant ...

Yellow Sea

The Yellow Sea is not a very well-known cocktail. It’s perfect for summer-time with its hints of banana and lime, it’s a bit on the strong side, and it’s very drinkable. Galliano is a complex liqueur, with notes of anise, lavendar and mint, but those flavors are hidden well behind vanilla. Experienced palates may pick ... Read the full article →
