The Harvey Wallbanger rose to fame in the 1970s, helped along by a memorable name and a wave of easy drinking cocktails that defined the era. It built on the already popular Screwdriver and added a distinctive twist.
That twist is Galliano, an Italian liqueur with herbal and vanilla notes that lifts the drink beyond its simple base of vodka and orange juice. It is bright, slightly sweet, and more interesting than it first appears. It is also a reminder of how one ingredient can change everything.
Why Lush Life Loves It
I always think of this as a drink that surprises people. You expect something straightforward, and then that Galliano comes through and makes you pay attention.
