The Hershel
The Hershel is named after none other than the Iconic Hershel himself, with an unknown recipe of clear liquors that are served “Naked”, as a glass, or by the pitcher. The Xavier community and Norwood residents have long speculated what goes into this special drink but the secret remains safe.
Though we can’t tell you what goes into a Hershel, we can promise that you won’t find it anywhere else. Students and Alumni alike revisit Dana’s year after year just to get their fix.
