Galliano is a sweet, herbal liqueur that originated in Italy in the 1890s. It is made with a blend of herbs, spices, and fruits, including anise, licorice, juniper berries, and vanilla.

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.

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.

Tips:
- Choose ripe and flavorful lemons: The quality of your lemons will greatly impact the taste of your Limoncello. Look for lemons that are heavy for their size, have a smooth, unblemished rind, and are deeply yellow in color.
- Use a vegetable peeler to remove the lemon zest: This will help you avoid getting any of the bitter white pith in your Limoncello. Be sure to zest the lemons thinly, as this will release more of the flavorful oils.
- Use a glass container to infuse the lemon zest in alcohol: Glass is non-reactive, so it won't leach any unwanted flavors into your Limoncello. Make sure the container is large enough to hold all of the ingredients comfortably.
- Store the Limoncello in a cool, dark place: This will help to preserve the flavor and quality of the liqueur. Limoncello can be stored for up to 6 months.
Conclusion:
Limoncello is a delicious and versatile liqueur that can be enjoyed on its own, used in cocktails, or added to desserts. It's a great way to use up leftover lemons, and it makes a lovely gift for friends and family. With a little time and effort, you can easily make your own Limoncello at home. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try!
