Golden Dream

A silky, golden after-dinner cocktail balancing Galliano's herbal vanilla sweetness against triple sec, fresh orange juice, and a splash of cream — equal parts, shaken hard to an emulsified glow. A staple of the 1960s and '70s, it is credited to Raimundo Alvarez of Miami's Old King Bar, who is said to have dedicated it to Joan Crawford.
