Fill an old-fashioned glass with ice. Add brandy and Galliano. Stir and garnish with a wedge of lime. "As
a scooter girl through and through, I couldn't resist a cocktail name

having never tasted it before. The resulting drink hearkens back to the
time of my scooter's creation, with a decidedly retro taste and
attitude." |
