The Harvey Wallbanger is an alcoholic drink or cocktail made with vodka, Galliano, and orange juice.
Creation Myth
First concocted in the 1950s, this well known tipple was one of many cocktails invented by renowned and two times world champion mixologist Donato 'Duke' Antone. Other notable 'Duke' creations are the Rusty Nail, The Godfather and the Flaming Caesar.
According to legend, Harvey was a California surfer. After losing an important contest, he consoled himself in Duke's Blackwatch bar with one of his 'special' screwdriver cocktails, (a screwdriver with a dash of Galliano liqueur). After several drinks, he tried to leave the bar, but unfortunately kept bumping into the furniture and walls. Harvey 'the Wallbanger' became his nickname and the famous drink was named.
