Cocktail of the week with Fabrizio Musorella

Harvey Wallbanger

How come some cocktails have funny names? Here’s one story for you. In the marvelous 1960s at Pancho’s Bar in Manhattan Beach California, a surfer named Harvey was wiped out in a surf championship. From his disappointment he then drank too much Vodka with Galliano and as a sign of disapproval banged his head against a wall until he was stopped. My suggestion? Do not order or prepare this Long Drink if you just lost a game. It’s just a game. Salute
Ingredients
5cl vodka
15cl freshly squeezed orange juice
2cl Galliano liqueur
Preparation
Pour the vodka and orange juice into a highball filled with ice. Stir. Pour the Galliano gently over the back of a spoon, so that it will float. Add a slice of orange and two straws.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
