Screwdriver Riff

To create a "Harvey Wallbanger," add 1/2 oz of Galliano liqueur, floating it on top. For a "Sonic Screwdriver," use a citrus soda instead of orange juice. You can also experiment with flavored vodkas, such as citrus or vanilla, for a unique twist. For a lower calorie version, use a lower sugar orange juice.
