Harvey Wallbanger Slush 5 cups orange juice 3/4 cup vodka 1/3 cup Galliano Orange slices Maraschino Cherries In large bowl, mix 1st 3 ingredients. Stir to mix well. Pout into 2 quart freezer container. Freeze 6 hours or overnight. To serve; Spoon into stemmed glasses and garnish with orange slices and cherries. Serves 6 Re: Summer Drinks - cjs - 07-10-2009 Yes to Harvey Wallbangers!!! Haven't had one for years. I have a recipe for galliano if you're interested. Re: Summer Drinks - Dismc - 07-10-2009 I am interested. Haven't made Galliano in years and have no idea where my recipe is. Maybe I'll find it in this huge pile of old recipes but would love yours, regardless. Re: Summer Drinks - cjs - 07-10-2009 I made galliano a couple of years and never could find pineapple extract, so I just used some pineapple juice in place of it. I've since heard they (McCormick's) don't make it anymore. * Exported from MasterCook * GALLIANO AND HARVEY WALLBANGERS 2 cups sugar 1 cup water 6 tsp. pineapple extract 3 tsp. vanilla extract 1 ½ tsp. banana extract ½ tsp pure anise extract 5 drops yellow food coloring Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan; boil gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from heat and measure out 2 cups of the sugar syrup. Pour into a large container, let cool and add all extracts. Add 1 quart 100 proof vodka and food coloring. Shake or stir the container to blend the ingredients. Makes approximately 1 1/2 quarts of liqueur. For Harvey Wallbangers - In a blender, put 1 part Galliano, 2 parts vodka and 6 parts orange juice. Add a sliced banana and blend until smooth and frothy. NOTE to all: It's been so many years, I can't remember how many we made at a time, but I'll test this along with you all…..rough job. And I'm thinking: 2 oz. Galliano 4 oz. vodka 12 oz. orange juice 1 whole banana And we're also trying to remember if we added ice to the blender - another fact finding chore!! These are so good! And summer's coming When our children were teenagers, we dug and installed a swimming pool and the adults felt so elegant with the blender installed out on the deck with all the makings for Harvey Wallbangers - especially made from home made Galliano. Keep in mind this was a soft sided, above ground pool, but oh, were we ever elegant!! --- The notes are from testing the recipe for a cookbook. Re: Summer Drinks - bjcotton - 07-10-2009 Here's one for you. Although I don't drink I still collect the cool sounding ones: * Exported from MasterCook * Berry Cool Margaritas Recipe By : Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : A List Beverages Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 cup Oregon Blackberries, including juice 1/4 cup tequila 2 tablespoons orange liqueur 1/4 cup lime juice 2 cups crushed ice Blend berries and ice in a blender for 10-12 seconds. Add remaining ingredients and blend until ice is almost smooth. Pour into 12 ounce glasses. TIP: Pour pureed berries through a sieve before adding remaining ingredients if you prefer a seedless drink. Moisten rim of glass with lime or orange and dip in sugar. You may also omit alcohol and add 1/2 cup orange juice if desired.

Jean I printed the Galliano recipe - love that stuff! Thank you both. Re: Summer Drinks - foodfiend - 07-11-2009 I made this one the other night (from the pre-current, August 2009, issue of Eating Well): Cherry Smash Celebrate fresh cherries with this mint-infused cherry cocktail. Black cherry-flavored seltzer gives the drink the most cherry flavor, but plain seltzer also works well. Makes 4 servings ACTIVE TIME: 10 minutes TOTAL TIME: 10 minutes EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy 1 cup pitted fresh or frozen (thawed) cherries 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, plus 4 sprigs for garnish 8 teaspoons sugar 6 ounces (3/4 cup) dark rum 1/4 cup lime juice 3 cups cherry-flavored seltzer Divide cherries, mint leaves and sugar among 4 glasses. Mash everything together with the back of a wooden spoon. Stir in rum and lime juice. Fill glasses with ice and top with seltzer. Garnish with mint sprigs.

Nutrition bonus: Vitamin C (15% daily value). 1 Carbohydrate Serving Exchanges: 1 fruit It did not make 4 servings... rather, 3, and strong ones at that. But we loved them. I used a little less sugar and muddled everything in a small pitcher (like making mojitos), added rum, then divided it between 2 glasses and topped with unflavored seltzer. In fact, I think I'll go and make one now. It's cocktail hour, and I want to use my cherry pitter again! I'm Baaaaack!!! Here is how I retooled the EW recipe, and we both like it better: In a small pitcher, muddle: 3/4 cup pitted fresh cherry halves 5 large mint leaves, torn into quarters 2 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice Sir in: 3 ounces dark rum Place ice in 2 12-ounce highball glasses. Using a spoon, scoop the cherry/mint mixture evenly between the glasses. Pour remaining liquid into glasses, dividing evenly. Top with seltzer, and stir gently with a spoon. Serve with spoons in order to eat the rum-soaked cherry/mint ambrosia after the liquid has been consumed. The resulting drinks have a cherry-mojito flavor, and are verrrrrrrrry good! *hic!* Now, what to make for dinner...
