Screwdriver


Description:
Quite simply, vodka and orange juice.

The boyfriend and I agree that a cocktail must have a name that does not indicate its ingredients to creat some sort of mystique. Hence, I will not call my drink Rhum and Coke - I'll call it Cuba Libre.

Still, I always hear people (gay men, really) saying "Vodka-orange" in bars. I find that totally depressing.

Ingredients:
5.0 cl Vodka
10.0 cl Orange Juice

Directions:
Pour all ingredients directly into highball glass filled with ice. Stir gently. Garnish with orange slice.

Replacing the flat orange juice with a carbonated orange drink, such as Fanta (or in my case, Royal), produces a cocktail known as a Hi-Fi.

A screwdriver in which Tang is substituted for the orange juice is known as a Fuzzy Cosmonaut.

will freshly squizzed sunkists make a difference?

you mean as opposed to orange flavored soda? iba kasi lasa ng fresh orange juice, eh. it's more sour and has a hint of bitterness sa taste.
