Equipment

  • I use a highball glass to serve the drink.
  • You’ll also need a jigger to measure the liquids accurately.
  • A stirrer or a spoon is handy for mixing everything together.
  • For the best results, I always like having a citrus juicer to extract fresh orange juice. Freshness makes a big difference!

Ingredients

A Screwdriver Cocktail is all about simple ingredients.

  • 1.5 ounces of vodka
  • 4-6 ounces of orange juice
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional: Add a slice of orange for garnish to make it more appealing.

Feel free to adjust the amount of vodka based on your preference. Some like it strong, while others prefer it lighter. Always make it to your taste!

Instructions

Making the Screwdriver is quick and easy! Follow these steps for a refreshing drink.

  • Fill your highball glass with ice cubes. ❄️
  • Pour 1.5 ounces of vodka over the ice.
  • Add 4-6 ounces of orange juice to fill the glass.
  • Stir gently with a stirrer or a spoon to mix the ingredients well.
  • Optional: Garnish with an orange slice on the glass rim.

Serve immediately and enjoy your creation! Feel free to adjust the recipe to suit your taste, adding more juice if you'd like it less strong.

    Notes

    The Screwdriver is super adaptable. You can try different variations by adding a splash of cranberry for a twist or using flavored vodka for something new.
    Important: Drink responsibly and know your limits.
    For a special touch, use a sugared rim by dipping the glass edge in sugar before pouring the drink. It adds a sweet hint that complements the citrus.
