Well, I've been putting off both the Harvey Wallbanger and the Sidecar for some time, because they both sound gross. Tonight, however, I decided to try and drink one of them. Given that my local Friday's has this bottle of Galliano that I have never seen touched in all the times I've been there, I decided to go with the Wallbanger.
The Harvey Wallbanger
Mostly Vodka
Some Orange Juice
A Tinge of Galliano
Why someone decided that a screwdriver just wasn't good enough as it was is surely lost to history, but mess with it they did, and for some reason it was with Galliano. For those of you not in the know, Galliano is an Italian liqueur, flavored with anise, but with the added flavors of vanilla. It's bright yellow and comes in a two foot tall bottle, and how it ended up in the Harvey Wallbanger was probably because someone needed to get rid of it.
The Harvey Wallbanger isn't as disgusting as I thought it would be. I mean, I don't know why you just wouldn't order a screwdriver. but it isn't all that terrible. The fact that its only a tinge of Galliano doesn't really change the flavor of the drink all that much, it adds some sort of complexity, but I'd still just have a screwdriver.
