Cocktail history
Screwdriver is a cocktail with a colourful history that dates back to the 1940s. At that time, the main consumers of vodka were oil platform workers in Texas, Oklahoma and California. Practical drillers, not having any bar equipment at hand, mixed the drink with an ordinary screwdriver. That’s how the name of this iconic cocktail came about.
By the end of the 1940s, the Screwdriver cocktail with vodka had gained popularity not only in the US, but also among American engineers working in Turkey and Saudi Arabia. In 1949, it was officially mentioned in Time magazine, which was the starting point for its international recognition.
Today, Nemiroff’s modern take on vodka cocktails is getting on a new sound. Thanks to the premium drink Nemiroff Bold Orange, the mix is filled with bright citrus notes, while cherry juice adds sweet freshness. Its ease of preparation and versatility make it the perfect choice for any occasion – from a home party to a cosy evening out.
Best pairings for this cocktail
Screwdriver goes well with many light dishes, making their flavour even more expressive. Fresh vegetable salads with bright dressings that complement the citrus notes of the drink are an ideal choice. Screwdriver also goes well with fruit platters, where sweet and sour fruits, such as oranges, berries or grapes, predominate. For those who like more substantial snacks, cheese plateaus, particularly with soft cheeses, or seafood canapés are suitable, creating a delicate contrast to the fruity sweetness of the cocktail.
For dessert, Screwdriver can be served with light fruit-based dishes such as citrus cream tarts or sorbets. Its versatility makes it easy to integrate the cocktail into different gastronomic moments, making it an indispensable companion on the table.
