The screwdriver is a well know drink that you will see served in any bar. Here is how you can make it .
The Screwdriver is one of the most basic drinks out there that can help you get a base understanding of cocktail making. There is no true record of when this cocktail was first invented or who first made it, but its origins can be traced back as far as the 1940's in war time America. It got its name from oil rig workers in the Persian Gulf who would drink Vodka with orange juice but without the correct bar spoon needed would use their screwdrivers to stir the drink. With few ingredients , little preparation and no specialist knowledge needed, this would be a good place to start learning to make great drinks.
Ingredients
1 1/2 Oz (45ml) Vodka
4 1/2 Oz (135ml) Fresh Orange Juice
Garnish: Orange slice
Preparation
1. Build a highball glass with a good amount of ice cubes.
2. Add the Vodka and fresh Orange juice into the glass and stir.
3. Add the Orange slice/ wheel to garnish the drink.
Further information
One important thing i would advise when making this drink
or any drink that requires juice, is to use fresh squeezed juice
from the fruit as it will make the drink taste better and more
refreshing as it will not contain any additional sweeteners or
concentrates that store-bought juices may. It may require
an extra step in preparation, but it makes a difference.
If you are not convinced, i encourage you to make two
Screwdrivers with both fresh and store-bought Orange juice
and taste them both. You will never want to use store bought
in any drink you make again !
