IBA

El Screwdriver es un sencillo pero amado cóctel clásico que se hace solo con vodka y zumo de naranja. El origen del nombre viene de la historia de que los técnicos de pozos petrolíferos usaban un destornillador en lugar de una cuchara para remover su bebida. Con un sabor fresco y dulce, es perfecto para disfrutar en cualquier momento y lugar.

History & Origins

The Screwdriver's origin is disputed, but the most cited story holds that American oil workers in the Middle East during the 1940s stirred vodka into orange juice using a screwdriver when no other implement was available. The drink was first mentioned in print in a 1949 issue of Time magazine, and its use of vodka helped propel that spirit's rise in the American market. The IBA recognizes it among its Unforgettables.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh, juicy orange juice with a clean, neutral background from the vodka. Palate: Bright and citrus-forward, with the orange juice providing natural sweetness and acidity; vodka contributes a gentle warmth without adding flavor that competes with the citrus. Finish: Clean, refreshing, and citrusy with a brief alcoholic warmth.

Pro Tip

Use freshly squeezed orange juice rather than processed juice for a noticeably fresher, more vibrant drink.
