While selecting your opera snacks, order a “Setting Sun” the signature cocktail crafted specifically for this production of Suor Angelica. A mix of Galliano Liqueur, Triple Sec, Lemon Juice and Club Soda/Sprite. This Italian liqueur is woodsy and herbal, yet sweet with hints of vanilla and anise. It is distilled with many herbs including star anise, juniper, cinnamon, lavender, and peppermint. Bright yellow in color, this cocktail captures the hope sparked by both the glistening sun in the fountain and Angelica’s herbal remedies and concoctions | $10
