If you're soaking up the summer sun and are searching for the perfect beach cocktail, keep reading to uncover this classic cocktail with a Frobishers twist.
Origins Of The Harvey Wallbanger Cocktail
The cocktail is credited to Donato "Duke" Antone, a mixologist from Hartford, Connecticut. Its exact origin is debated; some suggest Antone may have created it to promote Galliano liqueur, while others claim he renamed an existing drink known as "Duke's Screwdriver."
Another theory is that the cocktail was invented in 1952 at Antone's alleged Blackwatch Bar on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. The cocktail was named after a surfer, Harvey, who loved the drink so much that he would often "wallbang" his way out of bars. Despite the mixture of theories about its creation, there's no doubt that it's a delicious summer refresher.
What Is A Harvey Wallbanger Cocktail?
The cocktail is a mix of vodka, orange juice, and a splash of Galliano liqueur, which adds the unique herbal flavour. The vodka provides a smooth, clean base, while the orange juice offers a refreshing citrus burst. Galliano, with its distinct blend of Mediterranean herbs, spices, and vanilla notes, introduces an aromatic complexity that elevates the drink. The Harvey Wallbanger's bright and sunny appearance, along with its deliciously layered taste, makes it a standout choice for any occasion.
