National Harvey Wallbanger Day
Legend has it that the Harvey Wallbanger cocktail was named after a Manhattan Beach surfer. While the inventor of the Harvey Wallbanger is not known for sure, it is true that little was known about this drink outside of California until 1970. Its popularity grew nationwide after it began being featured as a cocktail on TWA flights.
The popularity of the Harvey Wallbanger also grew because of a liquor company's marketing campaign. The campaign included an illustrated character, a funky name, and Harvey Wallbanger parties. A sales rep even purchased an airline ticket for the Harvey Wallbanger blow-up character who, just like everyone else, had his own seat, seat belt, meal, and beverage.
So what is a Harvey Wallbanger anyway? Three parts vodka, one part Galliano, and six parts orange juice. Garnish with an orange slice and serve one up for National Harvey Wallbanger Day. Cheers!
