Buttafuoco

I've been wanting to try this drink for some time. The name is sweet and the ingredients sounded like they would be great together, and they are. The thing that turned me was when I combined the spirits themselves with an ounce of lemon in the shaker before I added ice. They looked and smelled like stomach acid. That really turned me off, and I might have stopped there. But I didn't want to waste this opportunity to try something different. Let me just say that a little sugar and half as much Luxardo would have made the drink much better, but here's the recipe as it is written.
  • 2 oz. white tequila
  • 1/2 oz. Galliano
  • 1/2 oz. Luxardo
  • 1 oz. lemon juice
  • club soda
  • cherry
Combine all ingredients except soda and cherry in a shaker with ice. Shake and pour into a highball or Collins glass. Top with soda and garnish with cherry.
