History

A golden, sunny-looking and tasting cocktail.

There are no notes regarding the origin of this version of the Cactus Banger, but as it is one of the older recipes available, its origin predates the late 1990s. A Cactus Banger is perhaps better known as a simple Harvey Wallbanger variation that uses tequila instead of vodka. This version appears in books such as Stanley M. Jones' 1977 Jones' Complete Barguide. CACTUS BANGER Tall Glass Build 1-½ oz Tequila Fill with ice & orange juice Float ½ oz Galliano
