Ingredients

  • 1½ ozvodka

Instructions

Pour vodka and orange juice into a highball glass filled with ice. Stir to combine. Float Galliano on top by pouring it gently over the back of a spoon. Garnish with an orange slice.

Sips & Tips

Technique

The Galliano float is key — it creates a layered herbal-vanilla aroma as you sip. Pour it slowly over the back of a bar spoon resting on the surface.

Balance

Fresh-squeezed OJ makes this a completely different drink from the 1970s version made with concentrate. The Galliano adds anise and vanilla complexity that elevates a simple screwdriver.

Variations

Freddy Fudpucker

Replace vodka with tequila for a more characterful version with agave notes complementing the Galliano.
