Harvey Wallbanger Recipe

"Orange juice with a treat"




harvey wallbanger recipe This Harvey Wallbanger recipe is an authentic Italian drink recipe. This recipe is everywhere and I've not doctored it up with crazy fear factor ingredients or new bartender concocted potions. It can stand alone by itself!

Your main flavoring will come from the oranges - so choose nice ripe ones. The vodka gives it a lil' zing and Galliano adds the complimentary herb flavoring. Personally I could use a little more of the Galliano and vodka - but you decide.

In being true to my roots I posted the authentic recipe. Feel free to add what your creative juices direct your inner bartender to do. And with the same ingredients you can make a Harvey Wallbanger Cake! It's one of those easy cake recipes - (it uses a cake mix!)

Substitutions and Questions



What is Galliano?


First off Galliano is a brand name, like Kraft or Coca Cola. As far as what it is - it's an Italian liqueur. It's an herb flavored and has something like 80+ herbs and berries. The only one I can really smell right off is the anise - which is like licorice.

Is fresh orange juice necessary?


I always think fresh is best. And the orange juice is the main flavoring in this. The vodka is hidden and the Galliano compliments the oranges. I really would advise NOT using a store preservative laden juice.

Memorial Day and Warmer Weather Treats!



It's finally warming up! In my neck of the woods we had SNOW on May 2nd. Now were on to the warm weather sweet treats!

I started celebrating by having a Sangria last night. Sangria is so easy to make - and the trick to making it spectacular is - following the super easy procedure. IF you need a brush up see:

How to Make Sangria

As for Memorial Day Goodies - I bake the LESS sticky stuff if I have to travel. And something that the kids can grab with their fingers as they cruise by the dessert table and run off to their next game. Cookies and brownies work the best for this!

The past month, these are my top five most viewed cookie recipes:
