Encyclopedia > Galliano (drink)

Galliano is an alcoholic drink created in 1896 by Italian distiller Arturo Vaccari, by blending local and exotic ingredients such as star anise and vanilla. The spirit was named after Maggiore Galliano, hero of the East African wars at the end of the 19th century. Galliano Liquore soon travelled across the borders with the Italian pioneers heading for the gold rush in California.


Galliano is a bright yellow color and is packaged in a distinctive tall bottle shaped roughly like the Eiffel Tower. Because the flavor is so exotic and unusual, it can be difficult to mix with other liqueurs. It is often used to make Harvey Wallbangers. Interestingly, it makes a delicious combination with triple sec, Irish cream and milk in a variant of the Screaming Orgasm.

Der Drink verdankt seinen Namen einem Surfer namens Harvey, der seine Siege mit einem Getränk gefeiert hat, das bis dahin als Italian Screwdriver bekannt war (Screwdriver + Galliano).
Davon hörte ein Galliano-Importeur und startete eine große Werbeaktion mit Postern, T-Shirts und Gläsern, was dazu führte, dass auch der Drink unter diesem Namen bekannt wurde (böse Zungen behaupten, alles sei nur eine Werbeaktion gewesen und den Surfer namens Harvey habe es nie gegeben).
