Mulata Daisy

20mls lime juice
2 barspoons caster sugar
10mls Galliano L'Authnetico
1 and 1/2 barspoons of Fennel seeds

I have made this cocktail at a couple of training sessions and the feedback from bartenders is very positive. I really like the drink myself too!! I think this drink will be around for a long time to come!!':- Paul Lambert, Mixo-logic Ltd.

TRUE ORIGINAL NO 2

Check out this video. Now this is a good Pina Colada!!!! Not with Malibu,pineapple juice and cream!!!!!

I was asked to make a Pina Colada this way in Puerto Rico as part of my training with Bacardi and it is by far a much nicer drink.
