Announcing Galliano Espresso Recipe Contest Winner

We challenged our community of bartenders to submit creative cocktails using Galliano espresso liqueur. Galliano Espresso has a balanced aroma and more concentrated flavor, making it perfect for the deepest and most intense coffee liqueur cocktails. Check out the winning recipe!


 

StarChefs partnered with Galliano to give one lucky bartender a $3,000 cash prize. Congrats to Bartender Tiffany Nahm of Death & Co. New York on her winning cocktail: The Scholar’s Mate.

The cocktail is a lush combination of Galliano espresso liqueur, Scotch whisky, amaro, brandy, and whipped cream. As Nahm says: "Drawing inspiration from Sasha Petraske’s Dominicana, I wanted to create a cocktail that was elegant and boozy, while still incorporating a rich and creamy element. With robust coffee and tart peppery notes balanced by a velvety cream float, the Scholar’s Mate is my ideal nightcap."⁠
