Similar to the Grasshopper Pie, here’s another dessert inspired by a popular mixed drink of the same name. Donato “Duke” Antone, owner of the Los Angeles bar Blackwatch, named the drink after an imaginary surfer character who had a tendency to start bumping into the walls after imbibing several drinks. The Galliano and orange juice carried over from the drink to the cake, and the glaze helps put this cake right over the edge.
