Lucas Bols, the world’s oldest distilled spirits brand, recently launched Galliano Ristretto. Named for a very short and extra strong shot of espresso, Galliano Ristretto is an artisan liqueur made with 100 per cent espresso sourced from the finest Robusta and Arabica beans.

“Galliano is a sophisticated range of Italian artisan liqueurs, offering bartenders the richest and finest tastes of Italy,” said Pierre Stafrace, general manager, FBIC Limited. “We are thrilled to bring the vibrantly flavoured Ristretto to Malta to enrich the palette for local bartenders and consumers.”

Galliano Ristretto consists of 55 per cent Arabica beans from Columbia and Brazil lending creamy chocolate notes combined with 45 per cent Robusta beans from India and Kenya that provide the right touch of body and bitterness.

Galliano Ristretto can work as an aromatic stand in for coffee liqueur in classics like the Black or White Russian, or even mixed with coffee as a winter warmer. It is 100 per cent natural, made without additives and is commonly consumed as a digestivo in its native Italy. It has a 60 proof ABV and offers a full-body coffee flavour without the use of cream or chocolate, making it unique in the coffee liqueur category.

Galliano Ristretto can also be mixed with cola as a pick-me-up in place of a modern day Redbull or served with cream or as a cold shot.

Galliano is imported, marketed and distributed by Farsons Beverage Imports Company Limited, a member of the Farsons Group and is available at Farsonsdirect in Mrieħel.
