About The Harvey Wallbanger
This once famed cocktail is a variation of former fellow IBA Cocktail; The Screwdriver. This version adds Italian Liqueur Galliano L’Autentico to slightly adjust the flavor. The Harvey Wallbanger began appearing frequently in the 1970s and its popularity continued into the 1980s before wanning in popularity in the years to come. The Harvey Wallbanger is all but forgotten today, and is a classic of a bygone era; however the recipe is just as delicious today as it was in yesteryear and we strongly advocate the return of this former IBA Cocktail!
“Harvey Wallbanger is the name, and I can be made!”
-George Bednar, Executive for McKesson ca. 1960s
