2025 SUMMER SCIENCE SHOW

With guest Ian McEwan, featuring the Harvey Wallbanger and Grisly’s Cosmic Float.

Summer means three things: unbearable heat, children with no idea what to do with themselves but know the vacation clock is ticking out, and SCIENCE!

Or, if you’re us, it means Harvey Wallbangers, Grisly’s Cosmic Floats, and returning scientist Ian McEwan who is here to school us on the finer points of just how the hell A.I. works these days.

Along the way, we revisit the storied history of Harvey Wallbanger, and how an advertising agency made up a whole bunch of bullshit that America fell in love with, again. Also, MixMa$ter Therm whips up the Harvery Whipbanger as a tribute to the Orange Julius, and America falls in love, again.

DRINK ALONG AT HOME

The Harvey Wallbanger – The MixMa$ter Therm Recipe

• 1 1/2 oz. (3 parts) vodka
• 3 oz (6 parts) orange juice
• 1/2 oz (1 part) Galliano (a.k.a. Liquore Galliano L’Autentico, if you want to be that way.)

Stir the vodka, orange juice and ice in a highball glass.  Float the Galliano on the top.  Garnish with an orange slice and serve outside on the lawn while your neighbors look on, jealously seething at how fucking awesome you are.

The Harvey Wallbanger – The Original Poster Version

According to the original poster itself:

• 6 oz O.J.
• 1 oz Vodka
• Stir with ice
• Splash in 1/2 oz Galliano

The instructions are right there, pal. Figure it out.

The Harvey Whipbanger – A MixMa$ter Therm Original

• 1 1/2 oz. (3 parts) vodka
• 3 oz (6 parts) orange juice
• 1/2 oz (1 part) Galliano
• 1 scoop vanilla (parts unknown) Ice Cream
• 1 oz (2 parts) whipping cream for consistency purposes (adjust to taste)

It was probably around an oz (I was doing them in a batch, and added the cream while blending, so I hadn’t measured it, but I’d guess about an oz per serving is about right.  Hown

 about:

Blend Vodka, OJ and Galliano with 1 scoop of ice cream, then blend in whipping cream until desired consistency is reached. Alert the neighbors that once again, your life is better than theirs.

The Grisly’s Cosmic Float

• 6 oz (1/2 can) Grisly’s Cosmic Black
• 1 scoop vanilla ice cream
• 1 big drizzle of caramel sauce
• Whipped Cream (you can use the boozy whipped cream like Cardi B’s Whip Shots)
• Nilla Wafer cookies
• Fancy blue crystal sugar (if you wanna be fancy)

The Simple Version: Put one scoop of ice cream in a tall glass. Drizzle in some caramel sauce. Pour in the Grisly’s. Top with whipped cream and chuck in a straw.

The Fancy Version: Before you start, crush a few Nilla cookies into crumbs and put them aside in a shallow bowl. Put a layer of caramel sauce in another bowl, turn the glass upside down, and dip the rim into the bowl, lining the rim with caramel. Then roll the caramel covered rim in cookie crumbs to coat it. Proceed with adding the ice cream, caramel sauce, and Grisly’s into the glass. Top with whipped cream. Then sprinkle on the crystal sugar and garnish with a single Nilla wafer.
