I already had the heavy cream left over from making mac-n-cheese last weekend, vodka in the freezer, and so all I needed was Galliano and fancy root beer.
Yesterday I braved the state run liquor store to find Galliano. I had no idea what it looked like or what type of alcohol it was, but that's what's called adventure, my friends. Found it in "Liqueurs." It's a product of Holland, by the way, yellow in color and smells like licorice.
Today at lunch I took a bus up to the fancy deli/grocery at Pike Place Market and bought 4 different kinds of fancy root beer: Baumeister, Dad's Classic Draft, Henry Weindhard's, and Hank's.
I chose by selecting half of the ones they had for sale and then buying them. Very scientific.
Root Beer Float Labor Day weekend, here we come! I will let you know how it turns out.
Also I watched this happen this morning. Yeah. Last Saturday I narrowly avoid getting stuck on the Monorail. And today I see the Elliott Bay Water Taxi, they use "bump" but I would say "crash," into the dock and knock a piling loose. Good morning!

I'm not too sure about the Galliano in a root beer float, but since you already have the vodka and Galliano, you can make the Harvey Wallbanger cake which is awesome.
Well, it may currently have a Dutch distributor, however, it is an Italian liquor. I know this because when I was 16, I had to smuggle a bottle of it home to my parents at the insistance of the woman that i was staying with in Rome. I couldn't convince her that I wasn't old enough to be bringing the stuff into the States, so had to do some finagling at the airport. Luckily security wasn't at all like it is now!
Lily, I do not think I know this cake recipe of which you speak. I must learn it.
And maya, that is awesome. Stories like that are ALWAYS worth being wrong for.
Well, only partly wrong I suppose since it seems the Dutch bought the brand? Odd.
Either way, sound like an interesting experiment you've got going!
