If you’ve been keeping abreast of the last few eNewsletters, you’ll have seen that we’ve covered a months worth of liqueurs. Each of these has its place not only in the bartender’s shelf, but during the course of a meal.<\/p>\n
Our first liqueur is Amaretto DiSaronno, a creation that was allegedly created as a reward from a model to a painter who used her as the model for the Virgin Mary. This all happened for the monastery at Saronno.<\/p>\n
While it can be imbibed by itself, the most common use of Amaretto is in an amaretto sour<\/strong>. Simply pour one and a half ounces of Amaretto and top with Sour mix. Other drinks include:<\/p>\n Italian Sunset Fill a tall glass with crushed ice. Pour the amaretto over the ice then slowly add the orange juice and top with club soda to form layers. Add a dash of grenadine and garnish with a cherry and orange slice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Disaronno Milkshake Place all ingredients in a blender with a cup of crushed ice. Blend until smooth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Amaretto Rose<\/strong><\/a><\/P><\/p>\n Pour amaretto and lime juice over ice in a collins glass. Fill with club soda and serve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The next liqueur on our tour of Italian liqueurs is Galliano<\/strong>. This liqueur was named after the famous officer of the first Italo-Ethopian War. It is said that his small brigade held the line against insurmountable odds. It’s known for being a long, thin bottle, usually placed at the back of the bar display.<\/p>\n Sloe Comfortable Screw Against the Wall<\/strong><\/a><\/P><\/p>\n Combine ingrediants, float galliano. Note that there are many variations and additions. Some include a “screw with a bang”, which adds a half ounce of overproof rum (Bacardi 151), a screw “against a cold, hard wall”, which includes making the drink over ice with overproof rum and the “screw with a kiss”, with a half ounce of the aforementioned Amaretto.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Harvey Wallbanger<\/strong><\/a><\/P><\/p>\n Galliano Root Beer<\/strong><\/a><\/P><\/p>\n Campari<\/strong> is a household name in Italian liqueurs, not only as it’s the name of the company that produces numerous aperitifs, but also due to it’s namesake drink. Campari is best served as an aperitif, or a drink to be imbibed before eating, thus spurring digestion.<\/P><\/p>\n Campari Sanguinea<\/strong><\/a><\/P><\/p>\n Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then add Campari, pomegranate juice, and grapefruit juice. Shake well. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with grapefruit twist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Jasmine<\/strong><\/a><\/P><\/p>\n Pour ingredients into a cocktail shaker, fill with ice and shake well for 10 seconds. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass; garnish with a lemon twist.<\/P><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
