The classic screwdriver is one of the simplest alcoholic drinks in the American canon. Serve this vodka cocktail for brunch—or whenever the mood strikes.
As with many classic drinks, the screwdriver cocktail has a long lineage. As legend has it, American soldiers stationed overseas during World War II created proto-screwdrivers by mixing orange juice with local neutral spirits. As vodka’s popularity grew across the United States throughout the 20th century, savvy producers like Smirnoff positioned the easy cocktail recipe as a way to enjoy a then emerging spirit.
With so few components, it’s worth using fresh-squeezed orange juice and the best vodka you can afford. Of course, you could also throw tradition to the wind and make this mixed drink your own by using flavored vodka ; or, you could add a splash of club soda for some spritzy refreshment or muddle some raspberries in the glass before you add ice to it.
