Recipe

• 2 parts white rum

• 1 part triple sec

• 1 part Galliano

• 1 part lime juice

Shake together with ice, and strain into a cocktail glass.

I bought a bottle of Galliano recently on a whim, and it's quite something. It tastes like sambuca, an anise liqueur, but with a little vanilla hug at the end making it all nice and yummy.

This cocktail is supposedly a classic, and I wasn't disappointed! The sweetness and anise of the liqueur come through nicely, and balance well with the other flavours – sort of like a special daiquiri. I'd have liked more sweetness though, as with other sour cocktails, so maybe I'll use more of the liqueurs or add some syrup next time. Good colour!
