Screwdriver - Vodka and OJ
A Screwdriver is a fairly popular drink that's made with vodka and fresh orange juice.
According
to one source, the drink got its name from the time when American petroleum engineers in Saudi Arabia used to
add small amounts of vodka into their orange juice, using a screwdriver to stir in the mixture.
Use organic vodka and orange juice to make an organic drink that is rich in vitamins.
Although the original orange cocktail consists of two ingredients - vodka and orange juice - there are many
different variations of the drink that will change depending on the country or region that makes the drink.
I've listed a few examples of recipes I've seen, which are:
- Cassis recipe, which adds creme de cassis
to the mixture
- Southern recipe, which adds Southern Comfort, or any peach liquer to the mix
- Blue recipe that consits of vodka, blue curacao, and orange juice
- Electric recipe, which combines peach liquer, orange juice, and amaretto liquer
- Jamaican Recipe, which uses coconut rum and orange juice
- Mexican Recipe, which uses tequila (no surprise) and orange juice
- Malibu recipe, which uses Malibu Coconut
Rum, vodka, and orange juice
And so on. The list goes on and on.
