Screwdriver Recipe

The earliest written reference made of this drink appeared in an issue of time magazine from 1949, and casts the screwdriver in a cooler light than we thought possible: in the dimly lighted bar of the sleek park hotel, turkish intelligence agents mingle with american engineers and balkan refugees, drinking the latest yankee concoction of vodka and orange juice, called a screwdriver. Since its such a simple drink, its a great canvas for experimentation with a variety of flavored vodkas. Its also tasty with any type of gin you have, although there isnt a special name for it (as far as we know).
