With all of the meaningful events and great people we could choose to commemorate with their own day, it struck me as funny in an absurd kind of way when I saw that today is Harvey Wallbanger Day. So how is it that a cocktail has its own day?
I never did get to the bottom of that question but instead found lots of stories about the origins of the name and recipes for this sunny colored concoction. Below are the ingredients from the recipe that seemed most appealing to me–orange juice, lemon juice, bourbon and Galliano– and rather than blend one to celebrate I whipped up a Harvey Wallbanger color palette.
As you can see my color palette has the warm glow of anything mixed with bourbon. Happy Harvey Wallbanger Day
