Description

The Golden Dream is a classic dessert cocktail that became popular in the 1960s. It is known for its golden color and its taste, which is reminiscent of a creamy orange popsicle ("Creamsicle"). The drink combines the complex vanilla and herbal notes of Galliano with the orange sweetness of triple sec. Fresh orange juice provides a fruity acidity, and cream gives it its unmistakable, luxurious texture. A perfect, sweet finish to a dinner.

Preparation

  1. Pre-chill a coupe glass with ice.
  2. Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  3. Shake vigorously until the shaker is ice-cold.
  4. Strain the contents through a fine sieve into the chilled glass.
  5. Serve without a garnish.
