Turns out Galliano's branched out to stay relevant. I believe the product you're referring to is Galliano Ristretto.<br /><br />It appears they also have a Galliano Balsamico, which I presume has balsamic flavor of some sort, which should make for an interesting and underused flavoring component.<br /><br />Since you have a bottle of the Ristretto, make a Ristretto Daiguiri, which I found on their website, which I've translated for you here from the metric system:<br />2.5 oz Aged rum<br />1 oz Galliano Ristretto<br />1 oz lime juice<br />1/2 oz sugar<br />shake/strain<br /><br />Tell me how it tastes, and if it sucks blame their site not me.

Since you have a bottle of the Ristretto, make a Ristretto Daiguiri, which I found on their website, which I've translated for you here from the metric system:
2.5 oz Aged rum
1 oz Galliano Ristretto
1 oz lime juice
1/2 oz sugar
shake/strain

Tell me how it tastes, and if it sucks blame their site not me.

I know I'm not imagining this. Will report back.

I think the vanilla ice cream and the chocolate stout pair so well that anything else like Malibu rum (which I generally dislike to begin with) and other liqueurs seem unnecessary.<br /><br />Not to mention they'll detract from the intended simplicity of the affair.<br /><br />Also, Galliano is not a coffee liqueur, but rather an herbal one (with flavors of anise and ginger and top notes of vanilla) although some folks put it in their coffee, the reason for which is completely beyond me.

And it's funny because for a long time now, my boyfriend and I have been joking that one day we will one one business, with one long bar, but split down the middle. On one side, he will have the bar of his dreams. On the other side, I will have the ice cream parlor of my fantasies. I joke that Happy Hour would include beer floats, and he scoffs, but now I have proof it could work! Thanks! I don't know which I love more: the post's contents or the picture!
