Screwdriver Cocktail Recipe

Tue, Apr 16, 24  |  vodka cocktails

The Screwdriver is a classic and refreshing highball cocktail that combines the simplicity of just two ingredients: vodka and orange juice.

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ ounces vodka
  • 3 ½ ounces orange juice (or to taste)
  • Orange slice (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Fill a highball glass with ice cubes. Swirl the ice around for a few seconds, then discard the water to ensure a chilled glass.
  2. Pour the vodka into the chilled glass. Top it with orange juice.
  3. Give it a gentle stir (optional) and garnish with an orange slice. Enjoy your refreshing Screwdriver!

Tips:

  • Adjust the proportions of vodka and orange juice to your taste preference. For a stronger drink, use less orange juice.
  • If you prefer a sweeter drink, use a sweeter orange juice variety like pulp orange juice.
  • Get creative with garnishes! You can also use a maraschino cherry or a sprig of mint for a different touch.
  • For a slightly salty rim, rub the rim of the glass with a lime wedge and dip it in coarse salt before adding your ingredients.

The Screwdriver's simplicity and refreshing taste make it a timeless classic. So grab your favorite vodka and orange juice, and enjoy this delightful cocktail!
