TONIGHT'S HAPPY HOUR SPECIAL

Harvey Wallbanger

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 1/4 oz. Vodka
• Float of Galliano
• Orange juice

PREPARATION:
Build over ice in a tall glass. Float Galliano on top.

Or, just throw Harvey into the wall as hard as you can. (recipe courtesy About: Food & Drink. They have a neat brief history of the drink name, there, too.)

This drink was very popular with the grownups back in the 70's, when I was just old enough to be allowed an occasional sip, if I promised to be a good boy and not pester the grownups having their weekly Pinochle social (another great 70's throwback).

I remember the Galliano very well. Prettiest yellow liquid in a truly artistically sculpted bottle, almost two feet tall. Mom would save the empties and burn different colored candles in them until they had the most gorgeous multicolored wax squiggles, all down the sides, in random and fascinating patterns.
