Cocktail Description

Imagine James Bond ordering a dessert cocktail—the Golden Cadillac would be his guilty pleasure, combining the sophisticated profile of a classic martini with the decadent creaminess of a milkshake.

This luxurious cocktail blends white crème de cacao and herbal Galliano with fresh orange juice, creating a balanced flavor profile where citrus brightness cuts through velvety dairy richness. The addition of orange bitters provides depth and complexity, while a dusting of nutmeg adds a warm, aromatic finish that ties everything together. Despite its elegant appearance, the Golden Cadillac is surprisingly approachable to make at home—just shake the ingredients thoroughly with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass. It's perfect for after-dinner sipping, special occasions, or whenever you want to transform an ordinary evening into something memorable. This cocktail pairs beautifully with lighter desserts like shortbread cookies, crème brûlée, or fresh berries with cream, offering a complementary sweet experience without overwhelming your palate.
