“Galliano is potent, and a little goes a long way,” says Andrew Nichols, the head bartender for Atlas Restaurant Group in Baltimore. “If you find yourself pouring more than half an ounce of it at a time, you’ve gone too far.” Even the quarter-ounce called for here adds a significant depth of flavor. He names savory ingredients, such as tequila, celery, carrot and fresh herbs, as pairing well with the liqueur. You’ll find nearly all of those flavors in this complex cocktail.
