ugly scott has been taste-testing cocktails from back-in-the-day, so last night, at an event, armed with a wicked cold, mistakenly doped up on a dose of night-time cold and flu medicine (yes, during the day and an interesting afternoon it was), i tried the harvey wallbanger. the galliano turns an ordinary screwdriver into a tasty drink. i liked it.we frequent the wounded minnow every wednesday and either friday or saturday--sometimes both spending a considerable amount of time surveying the liquor. other than a yellowbird, i've never know what galliano is used in.
From Wikipedia: The Harvey Wallbanger is an alcoholic beverage or cocktail made with vodka, Galliano, and orange juice. The Harvey Wallbanger was invented in 1952 by three-times world champion mixologist Donato 'Duke' Antone, the brother-in-law of New York state senator Carlo Lanzillotti. The 1982 Milwaukee Brewers, winners of the American League pennant, were nicknamed "Harvey's Wallbangers," because of the team's nickname and its manager, Harvey Kuenn.

true. after having a harvey wallbanger, i can't imagine having a screwdriver. besides wallbanger sounds so much cooler. so cool that while drinking one, someone is bound to ask what's in it, and, when they learn of the ingredients, remark, "that's it? i thought it was something else."
I use to be a fan of Velvet Hammers....quite tasty and potent they were, just like the name.
Thanks also for following my blog...though I never know when it might decide to hit the brakes, so try not to tailgate
if only vodka had glitter in it like Goldschläger, then the wallbanger would look really impressive. the harvey blingbanger.
i will have to buy the ingredients to make a velvet hammer:
* 1/2 oz. Creme de Cacao, white
* 1/2 oz. Triple Sec
* 2 oz. Cream
