History

The original may have been equal parts gin, 30ml Galliano and 30ml Drambuie, but Scotch whisky sits more harmoniously as the base spirit; the build includes an additional splash of Scotch.

This recipe is adapted from Stanley M. Jones' 1977 Jones' Complete Barguide. The original recipe for the GOLDEN GLOW, served in a Cocktail Glass, is to shake 1oz Galliano, 1oz Drambuie, and 1oz Gin. A variation includes ¼ oz grenadine in the bottom of the glass, ½ tsp sugar, 1-½ oz Bourbon, ½ oz rum, 1 oz orange juice, and ½ oz Lemon juice.
