Golden Dream Cocktail
The Golden Dream cocktail stands out for its distinct creamy texture and surprisingly nuanced, dessert-like flavour profile. The peculiarity of the drink is due to the addition of a liqueur with a trademark vanilla-anise flavour, which adds a luxurious profile, making it especially popular during the holiday season and on special occasions when rich, celebratory drinks are in demand.

Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
While not traditional, grated nutmeg or orange zest as a garnish on top can improve aroma and appearance.
