Screwdriver

This drink is pour over ice and is usually served in a Highball glass. I didn’t have a highball glass so I used this classic tall juice glass instead. I also started by muddling some fresh orange segments in the glass before adding ice. Pouring over the vodka and then the orange juice. I stirred everything together and garnished it with a slice of orange. The orange segments must be without skin, seeds or the outer skin as this could make the drink bitter.

The drink can be topped with carbonated water or soda if you want to add a bit of fizz however I like it as it is. Some recipes suggest adding a dash of orange bitters or orange liqueur that aids in the zesty flavor but a good orange juice make this drink feel and taste very fancy. 

Now if you don’t have orange juice you can use grapefruit juice however understand that you won’t be making a screwdriver any more. The cocktail is simple with 2 ingredients and ice, try not to complicate it as it is refreshing on its own.
