Galliano L'Autentico is a popular Italian liqueur with a golden yellow colour. The unique herbal flavor medley is dominated by vanilla and anise, though its taste is complex. Developed in the late 19th century, Galliano is used in a variety of cocktails and is a staple in well-rounded bars today. Its most famous cocktails are the Harvey Wallbanger and golden Cadillac from the 1970s. While it's great for those retro drinks and many others, it also makes a nice digestif to enjoy after a meal.

Galliano L'Autentico has been produced since 1896 in Livorno, Italy. It was created by Arturo Vaccari at his newly formed distillery. The name honors Maggiore Giuseppe Galliano, an Italian war hero who gave his life in the first Italo-Abyssinian War (1895–1896). Though Vaccari created the recipe to be "a flavor all of its own," it is said that he based it on a homemade liqueur carried into battle by Galliano.
In 1989, the recipe for Galliano was changed after the brand was purchased by Remy Cointreau and it was rebranded as "Galliano Vanilla Liqueur." The brand was purchased by Lucas Bols (the current owner) in 2006 and the recipe changed again. The current formulation is billed as the "original" recipe and the label changed to Galliano L'Autentico ("The Original").
Galliano is one of the many herbal liqueurs which have a proprietary and secret recipe. It uses a blend of around 30 Mediterranean herbs and spices including anise, cinnamon, juniper, lavender, musk yarrow, peppermint, star anise, and vanilla. The rest is kept a secret, as is most of the production, though it's said to involve seven infusions and six distillations.
