I was born in late 1949, 30 years before you. My wife and I attended a Harvey Wallbanger party in the early 70s. I believe it was sponsored by the Galliano folks.
Well - I was also born in 1949. My first Harvey Wallbager was 1972. In the Air Force - during swing shift - we would have a raffle. 10 bottles, two winners, alternating selection. I picked the Galliano and learned the recipe. Can’t remember the taste🤔. I’ll try this recipe. Also, I’ll try a Vesper and substitute the Lillet with Galliano.
The Harvey Wallbanger was definitely one of those “I just wanna get drunk” cocktails. The Vodka is to get you drunk, the OJ is there so it doesn’t taste of Vodka, and the Galliano is so you’re not just tasting orange juice.
I have a 375ml bottle of Galiano for practical reasons (let’s be real, who the hell needs more than that), but I do occasionally have feelings of inadequacy creep in for not having the big boy. 🤣
I think it's time for a reprise of your Tales From the Bar video, with characters from the '70s and on drinking decade-appropriate cocktails. Just a thought.
I'm thinking of a decade themed cocktail party. Invite several folks, they come dressed as the decade of their choice with a couple of cocktails to mix and share with each other.
I heard that the "wallbanger" was caused because the bottle of Galliano was tall and thus kept at the back of the bar -- when picked up, it would bang against the wall. Such are urban legends! Great channel!
The drink has a great name but IMO the original drink was less than ideal. I enjoy watching this channel even though I cannot drink for health reasons. Watching these great videos are a pleasure nonetheless. I wish all the very best of health and happiness to you and your families!
Thanks for making this cocktail! This was actually one of the first ones I made when I started mixing drinks as a hobby, and I wanted to like it but felt it was lacking... this recipe adds a bit of complexity and it goes a long way 😁
If the Regal Beagle ever saw a reincarnation, your Harvey Wallbanger would be THE signature cocktail 🍹 there! Maybe it should be a pop up bar somewhere and you could be the mixologist-in-chief updating all those old school classics!
Another old man here who drank HWs in the 70s and 80s. I always assumed the Galliano was on top to contribute to the nose of the drink. The other popular layered drink at the time was the Tequila Sunrise.
In the early 80's, my high school friend's parents had that giant bottle of Galiano that we used to make Harvey Wallbangers. It was the perfect drink for two kids trying to get drunk on vodka. I haven't touched the stuff since. 😂
Anders, love it when you re-imagine a cocktail from the forgotten past and give us a new reason to re-visit history. Now let's see you tackle the Godfather :).
My favorite memory of this drink is of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers. They were loaded with homerun hitters like Gorman Thomas, and managed by Harvey Kuenn. Hence they were called, of course, "Harvey's Wallbangers."
sadly, here in Ontario Canada, we can only get the vanilla flavoured version of Galliano :( .... to put that in perspective for the US, that would be like the state of New York or Texas not being able to get this simple ingredient....
I've made a few Harvey Wallbangers in my time. I always found that, not matter how I try to float the Galliano, it always settled on the bottom when unstirred, much like Grenadine usually does when layered. So, I always though that when drunk (without a straw), it was just like a screwdriver until you hit the bottom when: WHAM! Galliano! So that's why I thought it got that name. :P
Great video Anders, I'll have to try this one. I was pleased if a little surprised to see you actually mention the cake. My mother used to make it when I was younger and I still bake it the same way mom did. The recipe as shown was spot on but incomplete. The picture did show a dusting of powdered sugar, which, is ok... I guess... if your an amateur. The way we do it is to use the powdered sugar to thicken a mixture of vodka and Galliano into a glaze that gets poured over the still warm cake. As described this cake has been enjoyed at gathering spanning the decades and was long ago dubbed the cake of intoxication. *** WARNING*** The use of fire arms or operation of heavy machinery post ingestion of the cake of intoxication is strictly prohibited.
in the mid 80's mom and i made the harvey wallbanger cake for a family summer cookout. I was like 13 and was interested in cooking. yes all the kids ate some of the cake. it was awesome. orange cake made with galliano. the kicker though was the frosting was powdered sugar and rum solution which you repeatedly poured over the cake and let it soak in and congeal. it got like 5 dousings of this stuff before it was complete. i should make one this summer... thanks for stirring up a good memory..
Nice! That cocktail is . . . a one of a kind. Top of the line. A real doggone keeper. I like diluted orange juice in cocktails. But, I admit that it’s because it reminds me of the watered screwdrivers of my youth.
Throughout the 1970s, the following joke was inescapable in TV shows and movies: Some people are ordering drinks. That guy (you know, that guy) says, “I’ll have a Harvey Wallbanger.” Then he cuts his eyes toward the camera, and says, “Hate the drink- love the name!”
Holy smokes! A Harvey Wallbanger! The last time I had one of those Jimmy Carter was president! We were at this huge 50s retro club on Mannheim Rd. in Bellwood or Westchester?? Anyone remember the name of that place??? I think it was a converted warehouse or something...
Way back when, in the nineteen seventies, yeah, I discovered I couldn't mix booze and weed . I'd puke every time. Harvey Wallbangers were the introduction. never went there again. Almost as bad as my experience with Southern Comfort. Yeah, never going back there either. Still enjoy my booze. Not certain kinds though. Extra sweet is the killer. Ugh. Loved the history lesson. Thanks!
1992, Sfuzzi Washington, DC the 3' tall 750ml of Galiano had to go. $1 Harvey Wallbangers every night for a month. We killed it, no more fruit flies! A great time to be alive.
I like to believe that "Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks" added much to the drinks popularity with the release of; 'Payday', in 1973. The Harvey Wallbanger is prominently mentioned in the song.
The bar I worked at had a young crowd, and for the girl's a bartender call Jersey Jack put one of the little single serving coffee creamers in the Harvey Wallbanger. It tases just like a Creamsicle from the 50's--60's...: )
Having been a bartender, never call your stories "hogwash". Call them "Embellished at worst" for the fun exaggeration of the tale. If you call a story bullshit off the rip, people stop caring about it. Imaginer saying for example "Oh, Robin Hood, yeah, I know the story. It's total bollocks, but there was this noble in the 1200's..." no one'll care past you calling it bullshit. Bartending isn't just making drinks, or the artform of drinksmithing, it's the entertainment of it all.
"The drink is not that good" Speak for yourself, fella! When all is said and done it's a matter of taste and I love it. A licensed venue in the Australian snowfields, each Tuesday and Thursday afternoon during the snow season (around 13 weeks) has what they call 'The Harvey Hour' (it goes for around 2½ hours). During that time, they will serve nothing other than Harvey Wall Bangers . . . in 3½ pint jugs. The Galliano people were intrigued for years as to why this nondescript outlet in Australia which operated for only 13 weeks of the year, sold more Galliano than any other premises in the world. They took a trip to Oz, just to find out. It has been years since I visited, but I think the Falls Creek Motel/Hotel still does it - its Harvey Hour is an 'institution.' After spying some Galliano on an out of reach top shelf, I once asked a very senior and experienced bartender in an exclusive golf club in Pennsylvania, if he would make me a Harvey Wall Banger. He had no idea as to what I was speaking of. Go figure. I instructed him as to how to go about making one and at the end, he tried to put a straw in it. I corrected him in an instant. 😂😂
Neat Story....well to me anyway. Late 1979. I was a Senior at Lawrence High (KS). We had just lost in the Football State Championship and my friend and I go to a barn party outside of town. I know, it was Kansas. It's the only time I ever had a Harvey Wallbanger and because I was 17, I thought it was great. I never forgot it, but never had it since. Less than a month later Anders is born and he now shows me how it's made even better. I think it could be even better with an egg white. An Orange Julius Harvey Wallbanger.
I really don’t like cocktails with orange juice and vodka. Perhaps that has something to do with having way too many screwdrivers at 16. Anyway, I almost didn’t watch this video, but then I thought: why not? Anders might have a nice take on this awful drink…..and you did. I don’t think I would make this for myself, but I would readily try it if YOU made it for me. 😁
First share house, legal drinking age. Sci fi fantasy nerds. We used to make Harvey Wallbangers but called them Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters, after Douglas Adam’s hitchhikers guide
I prefer it with pineapple juice. Also if it is just a single cocktail then shaken with cream (Golden Dream). But all are dangerous because you can hide a LOT of vodka in these...
Hey Anders! I've been experimenting a bit with the Super juices at the bar I work at. So far my favorite is making the orange super juice because it has a tart profile just like lemon or lime. What are your thoughts on switching the fresh squeezed orange juice with the Super orange? Love everything you do, and thanks so much for so many wonderfully informative videos that have helped me so much with bartending.
That's a nifty drink, but a far enough departure you should give it a new name. I mean, the original is a screwdriver with a Galliano float. What you made is 2/3 of an orange crush with lemon and Galliano, and a couple dashes of orange bitters would get everything but the bubbles. My 2 cents.
Hey Anders! Greetings from Australia! My wife and I want to take issue with you and your comment about how difficult it is to go through a large bottle of Galliano. We made your Golden Cadillac over a few nights this week and have successfully conquered the large bottle! Now it looks like we need another bottle to make the Harvey Wallbangers……
I thought for sure that you were going to add some bitters/bitter liqeurs. The ubiquitous technique of the late 2010's and early 2020's to modernize a drink; add bitters!
I had to laugh at the comment earlier in the video. Being born in 1961 I didn't hit the legal age until 1979 (back then). Even then it would take a few decades for me to really explore cocktails because of the wisdom of my father who insisted that Scotch and water was the best way to avoid hangovers.
If you remember the Seventies you were under age (raises hand)...🙃 Seems like a good drink the way you've retooled it, not that I have an issue with the taste of straight liquor. On and off I've done straight shots of good vodka out of the freezer as a starter drink. I do miss the honey and herbal Stoli.
“Total hogwash but I’m gonna tell it anyway” Part of my brand at my bar is talking about cocktail history with my customers and I have never resonated more strongly with a quote in my life. It seems like all of the best cocktail origin stories are lies.
Never ceases to amaze me - how close one cocktail is to another (gimlet v. daiquiri; screwdriver-wallbanger-fudpucker) just by swapping the base spirit OR adding an enhancing liqueur. Absolutely love your elevated take on it, Anders. Ya had me giggling whenya referred to the 750ml bottle of Galliano as a “baseball bat”😅-cheers to you & Oz!🍊🪩🕺
The HW is awful with regular galliano, but fantastic with the vanilla galliano, which I always assumed was the intention. No one wants mint with orange juice, but vanilla and orange is a classic.
Anders i used to drink that in the 70`s also tequila sunrise and a Slow Comfortable Screw Against The Wall as well as beer wiskey and many more we were wild love those years no computers so good ,but with the havey wll banger i am sure we used tequila not vodka it was better more of a bit
Can't help but get a giggle when you talk about vodka and fish for things to say. "..you can pick any vodka you want... this is gonna be the base... and that is that."
Also we make the Harvey Wallbanger cake, it'a a fave birthday cake for David, and we use orange cake mix, which is very hard to find. I have to imagine that's why that recipe you posted that uses yellow cake calls for more OJ than we use (ours uses equal parts vodka, Galliano, and OJ.)

Does benedictine work as a liquor substitute?
With a name like Anders Erickson you should learn some svenska
I was born in late 1949, 30 years before you. My wife and I attended a Harvey Wallbanger party in the early 70s. I believe it was sponsored by the Galliano folks.
Not surprising, I can’t think of anyone else who would sponsor that.
Well - I was also born in 1949. My first Harvey Wallbager was 1972. In the Air Force - during swing shift - we would have a raffle. 10 bottles, two winners, alternating selection. I picked the Galliano and learned the recipe. Can’t remember the taste🤔. I’ll try this recipe. Also, I’ll try a Vesper and substitute the Lillet with Galliano.
As a kid I thought Harvey Wallbanger and Tom Collins were two of my dad’s drinking buddies.
Love it
Apparently they were
That’s funny!!!
Along with Jim Rickey, Mo Hito, Marty Nee and the one lady of the group: Penny Cillin?
😂
The Harvey Wallbanger was definitely one of those “I just wanna get drunk” cocktails. The Vodka is to get you drunk, the OJ is there so it doesn’t taste of Vodka, and the Galliano is so you’re not just tasting orange juice.
become the knight
It was also a popular drink for guys to get their date "in the mood" as they liked to call it back then.
The secret to day drinking is to start early.
It's not day drinking if you don't do it all day.
You can't drink all day unless you start in the morning.
Ah yes, Galliano - the top shelf liqueur that is only top shelf because the bottle literally doesn't fit anywhere else (at least the 750ml) 😅
I remember the Galiano bottle in my parent's basement bar(red shag carpet, marbled mirrors, puffy black vinyl bar rail) was as tall as me.
It’s the bottle I use to measure my spirits shelves to make sure they’re tall enough
I have a 375ml bottle of Galiano for practical reasons (let’s be real, who the hell needs more than that), but I do occasionally have feelings of inadequacy creep in for not having the big boy. 🤣
As a designer, I think modern homes are sorely missing those amazing spaces we remember from our childhood! 😆
Damn, you just described our finished basement in Chicago back in the 70's except the carpet was mixed brown & tan shag.
I think it's time for a reprise of your Tales From the Bar video, with characters from the '70s and on drinking decade-appropriate cocktails. Just a thought.
Fun idea
I'm thinking of a decade themed cocktail party. Invite several folks, they come dressed as the decade of their choice with a couple of cocktails to mix and share with each other.
Best memories seeing my Grandma completely drunk at Christmas on Harvey Wallbangers my dad made!
I heard that the "wallbanger" was caused because the bottle of Galliano was tall and thus kept at the back of the bar -- when picked up, it would bang against the wall.
Such are urban legends!
Great channel!
Here’s a story I can get behind
I too was taught this origin story in a bartending class.
I was taught that it was his surfboard that would bang against the walls as he carried it around all these bars
The drink has a great name but IMO the original drink was less than ideal. I enjoy watching this channel even though I cannot drink for health reasons. Watching these great videos are a pleasure nonetheless. I wish all the very best of health and happiness to you and your families!
Thanks so much for the comment. Happy you're enjoying the videos! Cheers
Thanks for making this cocktail! This was actually one of the first ones I made when I started mixing drinks as a hobby, and I wanted to like it but felt it was lacking... this recipe adds a bit of complexity and it goes a long way 😁

Yeah, what updated 70s cocktails would be in a Regal Beagle revival bar?
Another old man here who drank HWs in the 70s and 80s. I always assumed the Galliano was on top to contribute to the nose of the drink. The other popular layered drink at the time was the Tequila Sunrise.
Hi Anders….the origin/story of this drink is too funny!…you embraced this beautifully!!👌👌👌👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️ have a great weekend and as always “CHEERS!”🥃🍸
Appreciate that. Cheers and happy weekend!
Can't not think of Opus and a Herring Wallbanger
Mmm, oh, this is a fine, elegant Harvey Wallbanger.
As an impressionable kid who loved Bloom County, it always makes me think of that strip's sarcastic take on the drink, called the Tequila Fannybanger
In the early 80's, my high school friend's parents had that giant bottle of Galiano that we used to make Harvey Wallbangers. It was the perfect drink for two kids trying to get drunk on vodka. I haven't touched the stuff since. 😂
Anders, love it when you re-imagine a cocktail from the forgotten past and give us a new reason to re-visit history. Now let's see you tackle the Godfather :).
My favorite memory of this drink is of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers. They were loaded with homerun hitters like Gorman Thomas, and managed by Harvey Kuenn. Hence they were called, of course, "Harvey's Wallbangers."
Me too. I’m a little disappointed that Anders, as a fellow son of Wisconsin, didn’t mention that. I’ll forgive him as thanks for the recipe.
I think we need an episode where Az presents and makes us her favourite cocktail!
sadly, here in Ontario Canada, we can only get the vanilla flavoured version of Galliano :( .... to put that in perspective for the US, that would be like the state of New York or Texas not being able to get this simple ingredient....
I've made a few Harvey Wallbangers in my time.

Ughhh. Harvey Wallbangers, man. Just give me the Screwdriver. No need to hide it under my dad's aftershave.
As always, Anders is 100% right.... Galliano is made with Anus...
And that's EXACTLY how it tastes to me haha
I consumed waaay too many of these in my younger years 😂
70's, disco, first serious boyfriend. And Harvey Wallbangers. Flashbacks.
Love it when Freya helps with product presentation.
I remember Harvey Wallbangers being huge in the early 70s, pre-disco.
Anders question sir, can licor 43 be a substitute for galliano
I don’t drink the Wallbanger. Gonna stick t bourbon, rum, gin, tequila. Thx for a great class.
Nothing wrong with that. Cheers, Steve!
I have been in an Ander’s binge watch! I have learned a lot and enjoyed some great cocktails 😊 love your dog, has beautiful eyes!
Freya says thanks! Cheers

I like diluted orange juice in cocktails. But, I admit that it’s because it reminds me of the watered screwdrivers of my youth.
A much needed improvement to the vodka oj. Cheers!

Anders continuing his anti-vodka agenda
Holy smokes! A Harvey Wallbanger! The last time I had one of those Jimmy Carter was president! We were at this huge 50s retro club on Mannheim Rd. in Bellwood or Westchester?? Anyone remember the name of that place??? I think it was a converted warehouse or something...

A lot of fun but challenging and google translate is pretty worthless at helping.

For that authentic disco vibe, spritz your glass with Aqua Velva and infuse with freshly smoked Marlboros.
I know of another fantastic "tail," that of my uncle's wiener dog, Harvey Wallbanger, LOL!
The bar I worked at had a young crowd, and for the girl's a bartender call Jersey Jack put one of the little single serving coffee creamers in the Harvey Wallbanger. It tases just like a Creamsicle from the 50's--60's...: )

It has been years since I visited, but I think the Falls Creek Motel/Hotel still does it - its Harvey Hour is an 'institution.'
After spying some Galliano on an out of reach top shelf, I once asked a very senior and experienced bartender in an exclusive golf club in Pennsylvania, if he would make me a Harvey Wall Banger. He had no idea as to what I was speaking of. Go figure. I instructed him as to how to go about making one and at the end, he tried to put a straw in it. I corrected him in an instant. 😂😂
Neat Story....well to me anyway. Late 1979. I was a Senior at Lawrence High (KS). We had just lost in the Football State Championship and my friend and I go to a barn party outside of town. I know, it was Kansas. It's the only time I ever had a Harvey Wallbanger and because I was 17, I thought it was great. I never forgot it, but never had it since.

A Harvey Wallbanger was my go to in the 70's. Still like it today. Better than some of the shit they make today at bars.
First share house, legal drinking age. Sci fi fantasy nerds. We used to make Harvey Wallbangers but called them Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters, after Douglas Adam’s hitchhikers guide
I prefer it with pineapple juice. Also if it is just a single cocktail then shaken with cream (Golden Dream). But all are dangerous because you can hide a LOT of vodka in these...
Hey Anders! I've been experimenting a bit with the Super juices at the bar I work at. So far my favorite is making the orange super juice because it has a tart profile just like lemon or lime. What are your thoughts on switching the fresh squeezed orange juice with the Super orange? Love everything you do, and thanks so much for so many wonderfully informative videos that have helped me so much with bartending.
My first childhood pet was named Harvey Wallbanger XXIII! Apparently there were 22 before him registered in my city (or state?)
That's a nifty drink, but a far enough departure you should give it a new name. I mean, the original is a screwdriver with a Galliano float. What you made is 2/3 of an orange crush with lemon and Galliano, and a couple dashes of orange bitters would get everything but the bubbles.
My 2 cents.
I don't think Galliano is kosher, I'm going to try to make my own by mixing: Sambuca, Vanilla extract, Cinnamon and Mint. Do you think that'll work?
Hey Anders! Greetings from Australia! My wife and I want to take issue with you and your comment about how difficult it is to go through a large bottle of Galliano. We made your Golden Cadillac over a few nights this week and have successfully conquered the large bottle! Now it looks like we need another bottle to make the Harvey Wallbangers……
Lmao the glorified screwdriver! Liquor 43 better than galliano just sayin lol
My dad then I made frozen Wallbangers. They were great.
I’m going to give yours a try. Although I have Grand Marnier, I guess it should work??
I thought for sure that you were going to add some bitters/bitter liqeurs. The ubiquitous technique of the late 2010's and early 2020's to modernize a drink; add bitters!
We are born in 1974 thus we’re turning 50 this year and apparently the Harvey Wallbanger cocktail was big in the 70s we don’t remember it.
Hey, you don't like the 70s!!! Wtf. I thought I was the only one to be horrified by that period. The fact that the 80s followed also confuses me.
I had to laugh at the comment earlier in the video. Being born in 1961 I didn't hit the legal age until 1979 (back then). Even then it would take a few decades for me to really explore cocktails because of the wisdom of my father who insisted that Scotch and water was the best way to avoid hangovers.
Hey, do you want to have that I've just drank orange juice 5 minutes after brushing my teeth flavor?? Try a Harvey wall banger!
When buying Galliano for my bar I debated between the 750 & the 500. Not how fast I'd go through it but which size made the better weapon.
Someone made an alcoholic drink version of an Orange Cream/Dreamsicle/Creamsicle. Very 70s.
I must try this. My go to drink is just a normal screw driver with a little salt...I cal it a Phillip's screwdriver! :-D
If you replace Galliano with Licor 43 does it become a Javier Wallbanger?
Hola Anders! Amo tú canal!❤ (since you are learning Spanish , it seemed appropriate 😂)
Love it! Gracias por tu comentario
Would love more videos taking a stab at improving some of history's... less perfect cocktails. Excited to make this one tn
Now here I was thinking that the drink was named after some celebrity in the 70's named Harvey Wallbanger
Is the only change for the Freddy Fudpucker to replace the vodka with tequila?
I feel like some sort of egg white addition makes this a booze smoothie. Another video I enjoyed watching - Thanks!!!
If you remember the Seventies you were under age (raises hand)...🙃 Seems like a good drink the way you've retooled it, not that I have an issue with the taste of straight liquor. On and off I've done straight shots of good vodka out of the freezer as a starter drink. I do miss the honey and herbal Stoli.
For orange juice cocktails, have you done a Painkiller? My favorite poolside cocktail.
“Total hogwash but I’m gonna tell it anyway”
Part of my brand at my bar is talking about cocktail history with my customers and I have never resonated more strongly with a quote in my life.
It seems like all of the best cocktail origin stories are lies.
The vodka is just for proofing the cocktail without flavoring the cocktail.
I dated a girl in that era whose mother didn't drink, but she could knock back Harvey Wallbangers like a long shoreman!
“1970’s I remember it well…” lol… I think not! Thanks for the great content!
Never ceases to amaze me - how close one cocktail is to another (gimlet v. daiquiri; screwdriver-wallbanger-fudpucker) just by swapping the base spirit OR adding an enhancing liqueur.
Absolutely love your elevated take on it, Anders. Ya had me giggling whenya referred to the 750ml bottle of Galliano as a “baseball bat”😅-cheers to you & Oz!🍊🪩🕺
I wish you could invent creamy drinks, but without any milk (I am lactose intolerant) .
I was just wondering what a Harvey walbanger was about an hour ago and this comes up on my feed. This is creepy. 😂
The HW is awful with regular galliano, but fantastic with the vanilla galliano, which I always assumed was the intention. No one wants mint with orange juice, but vanilla and orange is a classic.
Anders i used to drink that in the 70`s also tequila sunrise and a Slow Comfortable Screw Against The Wall as well as beer wiskey and many more we were wild love those years no computers so good ,but with the havey wll banger i am sure we used tequila not vodka it was better more of a bit
A week-old baby drinking a Harvey Wallbanger is not the strangest thing that happened in the '70s.
In the 80's going through the LA area I passed a restaurant bar called Wallbanger's. I think it was near Torrance.
My first hangover was with home made Harvey Wallbangers at age 16! : )
One of Cher's characters on her 70s variety show drank Galliano and Diet Rite.
Make it without the vodka, pour it in a glass with Prosecco, and call it a Harvey mimosa.
I will probably try this, but I’m thinking of using gin for the base instead….
Have you looked into the "Don't Give Up The Ship!" cocktail yet?
I remember the Brass Monkey and the Harvey Wallbanger.😊😊
I remember my mom making Harvey Wallbanger cakes. Thanks for the blast from the past!
I was going to say the same thing . I just can't remember the last time that she had made it .

You need a Discord server. I would love to brainstorm with people on cocktail creations.
Can't help but get a giggle when you talk about vodka and fish for things to say. "..you can pick any vodka you want... this is gonna be the base... and that is that."
Also we make the Harvey Wallbanger cake, it'a a fave birthday cake for David, and we use orange cake mix, which is very hard to find. I have to imagine that's why that recipe you posted that uses yellow cake calls for more OJ than we use (ours uses equal parts vodka, Galliano, and OJ.)
Anders, fighting for his life, trying to make a vodka based cocktail taste better.
