Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Build the drink

    Fill a highball or Collins glass with ice (about 1 cup). Pour 2 fl oz vodka over the ice, then add 4 fl oz fresh orange juice. Give the mixture a gentle stir (1–2 strokes) to combine vodka and orange juice without overly diluting.

  2. 2

    Float the Galliano

    Using the back of a spoon held just above the drink's surface (or pour very slowly), carefully pour 0.5 fl oz Galliano over the spoon so it floats on top of the orange juice mixture, creating the signature layered 'float.'

  3. 3

    Garnish and serve

    Garnish with an orange slice or wheel on the rim and optionally drop a maraschino cherry into the glass. Serve immediately with a straw or stirring stick so the drinker can incorporate the float as desired.
