Perhaps one of the more simple drink recipes, a screwdriver consists of only vodka and orange juice. This tutorial from Mahalo features Ja Nee who illustrates how to properly mix a screwdriver cocktail. You can use whichever style of vodka or orange juice that you would prefer, and can vary the ratio of alcohol to juice depending upon your taste.

Step 1: What You Need to Make a Screwdriver

There are only a few ingredients in a screwdriver, so you will not need to purchase many items in order to make one.http://www.howtotipsandtricks.com/2008/08/how-to-make-screwdriver-cocktail.html However, there are a few extras that can make your cocktails look more professional and add to the drinking experience. These are listed as optional. Here is what you need to make a screwdriver:

Your choice of vodka
Your favorite brand of orange juice
Ice cubes or crushed ice
Short or tall drinking glasses
Drinking straws (optional
Cocktail napkins (optional)

Step 2: How to Make the Screwdriver

The first step is to fill your glass to the top with ice cubes or crushed ice. If you want a higher percentage of liquid in your drink or do not want it to be too cold, you may use less ice.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaeaFmTBY9Q
Next, pour one to two ounces of vodka over the ice.
Now, fill the rest of your glass up with orange juice.
You may stir the cocktail with a spoon to mix the ingredients together if you choose.
Place a drinking straw into the glass if desired.
The screwdriver is finished, serve on a cocktail napkin if desired.

Step 3: Screwdriver Variations

For variety, try using a flavored vodka (Mandarin orange or another citrus flavor works well).
To make your drink sweeter, float some grenadine over the top.
Try adding some pineapple juice for extra flavor.
If you want your screwdrivers to have a fancier touch, try adding fruit garnishes such as orange slices or maraschino cherries.http://cocktailog.com/2009/03/screwdriver-by-othersuchproductions/
