Hardly Wallbanger

4 from 1 ratings

Sycamore Den, the San Diego cocktail lounge inspired by 1970s “Dad,” pays tribute to the iconic tipple with its own twist- the Hardly Wallbanger. Crafted by cocktail curator Eric Johnson, the Den's version includes the addition of fresh lemon juice, simple syrup and vanilla extract to the original drink recipe (vodka, Galliano and orange juice).
