Galliano Hot Shot Recipe - Classic Italian Delight
Introduction
Galliano Hot Shot is a delicious and unique shot drink that combines the bold flavors of hot coffee with the sweet and herbal notes of Galliano liqueur. This drink is perfect for those who enjoy a little kick in their beverages.
History
The Galliano Hot Shot is a modern twist on the classic Italian coffee cocktail, the Caffè Corretto. The addition of Galliano liqueur adds a new depth of flavor to the traditional drink, making it a popular choice for those looking for something a little different.
Ingredients
- 0.75 oz (21 g) of hot espresso coffee
- 0.75 oz (21 g) of galliano
- whipped cream
- nutmeg (optional)
How to prepare
- Layer the ingredients in a shooter glass in the following order:
- Pour Espresso Coffee first.
- Hold a teaspoon at a slant above the coffee, without touching it. Gently and slowly pour the Galliano onto the spoon so it seeps past the coffee on the side of the shooter glass. If done properly, the Galliano will seep to the bottom, creating a layered effect (see photo).
- Top with Whipped Cream.
- Optionally, sprinkle a dash of nutmeg on top.
- Serve it as a shot drink.
Variations
- For a sweeter version of the Galliano Hot Shot, you can add a splash of simple syrup or flavored liqueur such as hazelnut or vanilla.
