Harvey Wallbanger Cocktail
The Harvey Wallbanger is a vintage cocktail that rose to popularity in the 1970s. This delightful concoction is a vibrant blend of premium vodka, bright and sweet orange juice, and the unique herbal-bittersweet Galliano liqueur. The result is a refreshing, multi-layered beverage perfect for social gatherings or simply unwinding after a long day. The name 'Harvey Wallbanger' is said to originate from a surfer named Harvey, who after losing a surfing contest, consoled himself with multiple of these cocktails and subsequently started banging on walls!
