Notes
I’ve got to be honest, though. The real reason I picked this is because Tom’s parent’s were recently visiting, and Tom’s mom requested a “yummy” drink. I can’t think of anything that makes a drink yummier than ice cream.
Well, maybe chocolate would make it yummier, but I had fresh raspberries and some vanilla ice cream on hand, so we whipped these up.
“It’s delicious.”
“I thought so. Is it sweet?”
“Surprisingly, no.”
The Verdict: Delicious
From The Tasting Notes –
Even though this drink looks like it would taste like a raspberry shake, it didn’t. It wasn’t overly sweet and you could definitely taste the Galliano. There was a nice fresh raspberry flavor and it was very creamy. Sort of a Midwestern version of a tropical drink. It was different and delicious. And very pink!
Mmmmmm….. Thanks, Ruth!
I’ve never had Galliano, but it must be potent stuff to keep the sweetness under control.
I wonder if other berries would offer a similar result, or is the tartness of the raspberries essential?
Galliano is sweet, but very nice in spite of that. I like it, and I don’t generally like sweet things. Other fruit sounds interesting—Galliano pairs very well with peaches. Tart cherries would be very good, too, I bet.
I’m sad they took the Carabinieri off of the Galliano bottle. My grandfather was a Carabinieri.
I’m saving this recipe—sounds like a winner.
This looks very yummy!
I wonder if you can order this at a bar. Looks yummy.
