 JW> I'll go first:

 Which is why I started doing the "Today in History" thing. Not only is
 it informative it can be a challenge to find a "Burton" recipe to go
 with the historical event. I've been hoping to generate some "that
 reminds me" comment - or similar. But everyone is sitting on their 
 hands so far. And, TBH, our group has dwindled to just a few with a
 couple lurkers. Although I'm trying to chivvy the Down Under Wnnders
 into making a return.

But I refuse to give in to Farcebook, Tweeter, etc.

 JW> I'm talking about Galliano, the key ingredient in the infamous
 JW> Harvey Wallbanger, so popular in the 1970s. I just bought a bottle
 JW> for the first time in maybe 44 years or more.

 JW> It's a sweet bright yellow Italian liqueur with a pronounced vanilla

 JW> I am not overly fond of strongly anise flavoured liqueurs like ouzo,
 JW> sambuca or Pernod but Galliano is nothing like any of them.

I don't even care for licorice. FEH! 

 JW> I never liked screwdrivers so I haven't made any Harvey Wallbangers,
 JW> at least not yet.

 JW> But a mere teaspoonful, a half ounce at most, added to my standard
 JW> gin drinks gives them a remarkable new and very pleasant taste
 JW> profile. So far I have been enjoying Galliano enriched G&Ts,
 JW> martinis, gimlets, rickies, tom collins and slings. One bottle may
 JW> be enough forever but right now it's a daily treat.

 JW> OK now, what's new at your place?

When you're not the lead dog the view never changes.   Bv)=

Here are a couple Galliano guzzles you might (or might not) like ...
