Ingredients
- 4 to 6 ounces orange juice
- 1½ ounces vodka (1 shot)
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Fill glass with ice.
- Add 1 shot of high-quality vodka.
- Pour orange juice to fill the glass.
- Fill the glass with orange juice, add an orange slice or maraschino cherry for garnish. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Screwdrivers are traditionally served over ice and often as a breakfast/brunch cocktail. You could shake with ice, chill the glass, and serve strained so there is no melted ice to water the drink down.
- The quantity of orange juice will vary according to how much ice and the size of the glass used. For glasses larger than 8 ounces, you can add two shots of vodka.
- For the best flavor in this simple screwdriver, quality does matter. We recommend high-quality vodka such as Grey Goose, Smirnoff, or Tito’s.
- Serve this simple cocktail with a straw or drink mixer so the alcohol can be redistributed as it’s being consumed.
