Galliano competition winners each get a golden Vespa to zip around town, Italian style

Want your ride to really shine like your cocktails? Show off your version of one of these classic Galliano cocktails – Harvey Wallbanger, Golden Cadillac, or the Yellow Bird – for a chance at winning a custom Galliano-themed golden Vespa.

Many of these classic cocktails go back decades, some even centuries—the Harvey Wallbanger was created in 1952, the Golden Cadillac in the 1970s. Galliano has also been reinvented and reintroduced since its original inception in 1896. Based on the original recipe, Galliano L’Autentico was reintroduced in 2010. The spirit is heightened with a menagerie of herbs and botanicals including hints of juniper, anise and yarrow musk, adding complexity to the signature vanilla flavor and making it an authentic artisanal herbal liqueur again.
