Thanks, Vincenzo! Yes, I’m a very bitter man … but only in the glass.

Mike — Yes! You’ll find that Galliano L’Autentico has less sweetness and more spice, which is always a good thing in my book. The difference is such that before bartenders almost never used it, and now really good bartenders (like Vincenzo) use it a lot. Start off with a 375ml bottle and give it a try — you’ll have an easier time making that size fit in your bar anyway.

Really good drink. The change (or restoration) in Galliano was news to me, and of course my bottle contains the old formula. Is the difference significant enough to warrant replacement?

OK, after making it again at home I’ve revised my estimate — change the amount of Galliano to 3/4 oz. And if you see Vincenzo before me, definitely ask him!

Thanks!!

Go ahead and bug Vincenzo — I’ll be curious to see how close I was, even though I was watching Roberto like a hawk when he made it.

That is a fantastic cocktail – it’s so complex! Thanks for posting the recipe. I’ve gotten that every time I’ve been at Copa, but I never get around to bugging Vincenzo for the ratios.
(and Happy Belated B-Day!)
