Golden Cadillac
This shaken recipe includes orange juice (classically, it doesn't), giving the otherwise anaemic-looking cocktail its namesake golden hue. Adding orange...

Taking our cue from commenters Little and Tran, we substituted 30ml Blanco Tequila and 15m Mezcal for the orange juice. Seriously luscious for us. A long way away from the original recipe, of course, which we enjoy.

Like a puréed terrys chocolate orange. Great stuff.

A white Terry’s chocolate orange, obviously.

A good, quirky dessert cocktail - creamy and sweet. Anise notes are the easiest to pick out, but they don't dominate. Orange is also present, with the creme de cacao the most challenging to find (but still there). The combination of flavors is unique.

I prefer the version that skips orange juice and better. So basically equal amount of each.

I don't know why should i spend 7 euros to have crepes delivered when you basically have the most delicious sweet treat home, with half of it being just orange juice. Nothing "high-class" but nonetheless very useful.

Your comment is confusing, this forum is for the Golden Cadillac Cocktail.

You would have to be a killjoy not to like this drink.
It’s not pretending to be serious but the Galliano does add extra flavour.

Well now I’m confused! Poor red‘s website says this is served in two glasses?

I believe it's because it's supposed to be served to a couple.

Add 1.5 oz of Resposado tequilla and its called a Gold El Camino.
Trust me! Do it! You’ll love it even more...maybe better.

Many thanks. I'll be sure to give a Gold El Camino a try.
