Meanwhile, a Sloe Comfortable Screw Up Against A Wall combines slow gin, Southern Comfort and Galliano with orange juice.Īdd a shot of Tequila to the previous recipe and it becomes a Slow Comfortable Screw Up Against A Wall Mexican Style. A Slow Screw replaces vodka with sloe gin, while a Slow Comfortable Screw adds two shot of sloe gin and a shot of Southern Comfort to the mix. Whichever story is true, it seems that somewhere along the line, an American was involved in its conception! Screwdriver Variationsĭespite its simplicity (or maybe even because of it), this basic combination of vodka and orange has had many variations over the years. While working, they would secretly pour a little vodka into their orange juice and, in the absence of a spoon, they would stir their drinks with a screwdriver – hence the name.Īnother possible story attributes the drink to American marines during World War II, while a note in Time magazine in 1949 suggests the cocktail was first invented by an unlikely combination of Turkish intelligence agents, Balkan refugees and American engineers in the Park Hotel. Instead, it was made by American oil workers out in the Persian gulf in the mid-20th century. The Screwdriver was one of the first recorded cocktails to be made with vodka and, unlike many other classic combinations, it was not created by a bartender in some fancy bar. Instead, we chose the Screwdriver…well, it does have vodka as its primary ingredient! American Backgroundĭespite the international rise in popularity of gin-based drinks, vodka still remains the number one spirit in the world, with one in three drinks in the USA containing the sharp, clear liquid. With that in mind, we wanted to find a cocktail that would celebrate the Russian flair.
