#149 Cocktail: Harvey Wallbanger

      According to an article by Brooks Clark in “Bartender” magazine, the Harvey Wallbanger was created at a party in mid 1960’s in Newport Beach, California.

      The host of the party was a certain Bill Doner, then a sports editor for a small newspaper, who, finding that the only potables he had in hand were vodka, frozen orange juice and a bottle of Galliano, simply mixed them altogether. In the early morning a guest by the name of Harvey was found banging his head against the wall and blaming Doner’s concoction for his misery.

A drink was born!

2 ounces vodka

3 ounces fresh orange juice

½ or ¼ ounce Galliano
