Instructions

  • Prepare Your Glass:
  • Take a clean highball glass and fill it with ice cubes. This will ensure your Screwdriver stays refreshingly cold.
  • Pour the Vodka:
  • Measure out 2 ounces of your chosen vodka and pour it over the ice in the highball glass.
  • Add the Fresh Orange Juice:
  • Squeeze the oranges to extract 4 ounces of fresh juice. Pour this over the vodka and ice.
  • Give It a Gentle Stir:
  • Take a long spoon or, if you're feeling nostalgic, a screwdriver, and give your cocktail a gentle stir. This will help blend the flavors without disturbing the effervescence of the drink.
  • Garnish with an Orange Slice:
  • For that final touch of citrus aroma, garnish your Screwdriver with a thin slice of orange on the rim of the glass.
  • Serve and Savor:
  • Your Screwdriver is ready to be enjoyed! Take a moment to appreciate the vivid colors and then dive in for a sip of pure sunshine.
