Screwdriver Cocktail Recipe
The Screwdriver Cocktail is a simple and refreshing drink made with just two main ingredients. It's perfect for any casual get-together or just a relaxing evening. Whether you're new to making cocktails or an expert, this one is easy to whip up. 🍹
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!

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.
