Retro Recipes of The 1970s

Boogie down with our throwback ’70s cocktails


Harvey Wallbanger

A variant of the classic screwdriver, the Harvey Wallbanger was invented as part of a campaign to promote Galliano in the United States.

Ingredients

  • 1¼ oz Shine Vodka

  • ½ oz Galliano L’Autentico liqueur

  • 3 oz fresh orange juice

  • Orange slice, for garnish

  • Maraschino cherry, for garnish

Steps

  1. Stir Shine Vodka and orange juice into a tall glass with ice.

  2. Using a bar spoon, carefully float the Galliano on top.

  3. Garnish with orange slice and maraschino cherry.


White Russian

While the White Russian was one of the most prominent cocktails of the ’70s, its enduring popularity is actually attributed to its appearances in the hit 1998 film The Big Lebowski.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Shine Vodka

  • 1 oz coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)

  • 1 oz heavy cream

Steps

  1. Pour Shine Vodka and coffee liqueur into an ice-filled rocks glass.

  2. Top with heavy cream, stir, and enjoy.


Chi Chi

Like a Piña Colada sans rum, the Chi Chi is a tropical cocktail fit for the Tiki trends of the 1970s.

Ingredients

  • 1½ oz Shine Vodka

  • 4 oz pineapple juice

  • 1 oz cream of coconut (we recommend Coco Lopez)

  • Pineapple slice, for garnish

Steps

  1. In an ice-filled shaker, combine Shine Vodka, pineapple juice, and cream of coconut.

  2. Shake vigorously until well-chilled and frothy.

  3. Strain into a stemless wine glass packed with ice, then garnish with a pineapple slice.
