📜 History
The Galliano Hot Shot was created in 1987 by Swedish bartender Bosse Bergström for a coffee drink competition held in Stockholm. The original recipe used anisette, but Galliano was substituted after the competition and the drink became a defining Scandinavian bar staple. Galliano sales in Sweden reportedly increased by 750 percent over the six years following the drink's rise to prominence, per the brand's own account. The Hot Shot became so culturally embedded in Swedish nightlife that it has its own national observance: the third Friday of November.
