This week's drink comes to us from Steven Liles (a.k.a. The Reverend) at Boulevard, who created this recipe using Galliano Authentico to be featured on Boulevard's cocktail menu for the upcoming Cocktail Week celebration in May.
From Steven:
While thinking about what to do for Galliano, I ran across the story of Elisa Biscaccianti, and since both Galliano and Ms. Biscaccianti both have ties to Gold Rush era San Francisco, I thought it would be fun to make a cocktail in her honor. Here is the story.Elisa Biscaccianti was a coloratura soprano hailing originally from Boston. Arriving in San Francisco in 1852, she filled a void for the men of San Francisco. Both her beauty and her talent as a singer enthralled the booming city. She soon found herself performing nightly, commanding great wages and admiration from the populace. She performed for nearly a year, before embarking on a world tour. Though her tour was successful, she yearned to come back to the city that loved her, and six years later she did.
She found the city drastically changed though, an influx of other artists and changing tastes relegated her to being just another performer in a city of many. She fell on hard times, eventually landing at the infamous Bella Union in Portsmouth Square, where one could have a song from her for the price of a drink. She stayed on for a few years, and eventually made her way to Peru, where she had a resurgence in her career. Soon, she married and moved to Milan, where she became a teacher and lived out her days in Europe.With Peruvian Pisco, Galliano L'Autentico, and California citrus, I created this restorative cocktail in her honor. Cheers!
Biscaccianti
1oz. Barsol quebranta Pisco

1/2 oz. Apricot Eau-de-Vie
1/3 oz. Lemon Juice

1/3 oz. simple syrup
Shake well and double strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with drops of Peychaud Bitters, or any other bitters will do in a pinch.

You would look less gay holding another dude's junk than holding that drink...
I'm going to try to make that when I get home. Latte art for the cocktail, perfect!
