Yes! Yes! Yes! We first met in 1985, and I have to say it was love at first sight. It's a love affair that has continued through the years, and has stood the test of time. My passion for Harvey is as strong now, if not stronger, than it's ever been.

Harvey Wallbanger, that is. My boyfriend (now my husband) introduced me to this divine cocktail on our first weekend away together as a couple. We were staying in Brighton in a cheap B&B, and wandered along the seafront one evening and called in at one of the posher-looking hotels.

Standing at the bar, I couldn't decide what tickled my fancy. My boyfriend suggested a Harvey Wallbanger - I'm a fan of vodka and orange and this consisted of those, plus a bright yellow Italian liqueur called Galliano.

I decided to try one. I sniffed. A faint aroma - liquorice? - teased my nostrils. I sipped. I was smitten. This was heaven. All weekend I couldn't stop talking about how lovely it was. And 16 years later it's still top of my drinks list. Here are a few recipes you can try out, the first one being the infamous:

HARVEY WALLBANGER

20ml Vodka
20ml Galliano
Orange juice (amount to your
own taste)


YELLOW CANARY

10ml Lime
15ml Cointreau
20ml light Rum
5ml Galliano
Lots of ice


WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

50ml Orange juice
10ml Campari
50ml Vodka
10ml Galliano


FREDDY FUDPUCKER

20ml Tequila
20ml Galliano
Orange juice (again, to
your own preference)


A nice way to finish a meal instead of the traditional Irish coffee is to treat yo
urself to a Galliano Hot Shot. Make in the same way as an Irish coffee; brown sugar, Galliano, hot black coffee and double cream. Don't make the mistake of using Irish coffee glasses, these need to be served in shot glasses. Enjoy.

Unfortunately they don't agree with my husband, never mind darling, I'm always waiting in the wings!
