FAQ's

PREPARATION_TECHNIQUES

How do you layer the Galliano hot shot?

To layer the Galliano hot shot, carefully pour the Coffee into the shot glass first, followed by the Galliano liqueur. Use the back of a spoon to gently pour the Galliano over the coffee, helping to create a distinct layer. Finally, carefully layer the whipped cream on top, either by spooning it over the back of a spoon or using a whipped cream dispenser for a more controlled application.

INGREDIENT_SUBSTITUTIONS

Can I use a different liqueur if I don't have Galliano?

Yes, if you don't have Galliano, you can substitute it with another liqueur with a sweet, herbal profile, such as Strega or an anise-flavored liqueur for a slightly different taste. However, the unique taste of Galliano, which is a sweet herbal liqueur with vanilla and anise flavors, gives this drink its characteristic flavor, so substitutions will slightly alter the final taste.

INGREDIENT_SPECIFICS

What kind of coffee is best used in a Galliano hot shot?

For a Galliano hot shot, it's best to use a strong espresso to balance the sweetness of the Galliano and the creaminess of the whipped cream. The robust flavor of espresso complements the other components well, creating a harmonious blend of flavors.

DIETARY_CONSIDERATIONS

Is there a dairy-free alternative to whipped cream for a Galliano hot shot?

Yes, for a dairy-free version of the Galliano hot shot, you can use coconut whipped cream or any other plant-based whipped cream substitute. These alternatives should be as thick as regular whipped cream to maintain the layered effect and creamy texture of the drink.
