When it comes to iconic vodka cocktails, few are as instantly recognizable — or easy to make — as the Screwdriver. With just two ingredients, it’s the ultimate example of how quality matters. A clean, smooth vodka like Illadelph Organic Vodka and freshly squeezed orange juice are all you need to create something bright, refreshing, and totally timeless.
The Screwdriver’s exact origin is a little hazy, but most stories trace it back to American oil workers in the Middle East during the mid-20th century. Legend has it that they secretly spiked their orange juice with vodka and stirred it using — you guessed it — a screwdriver.
Since then, this easy mix has become a go-to for brunch, beach bars, and anywhere vodka lovers want something citrusy and chill without the fuss.
The Screwdriver’s appeal is universal. It’s said to have been a favorite of Frank Sinatra during the Rat Pack era and remained a pop culture staple through the 70s and 80s. Today, it’s still one of the most ordered vodka cocktails worldwide — especially when people want something easy and reliable.
Because the Screwdriver is all about clean, simple flavor, the quality of your vodka really matters. Illadelph Organic Vodka is ultra-pure and incredibly smooth, allowing the bright citrus notes to shine without any harshness or aftertaste.
If you’re keeping it classic, keep it classy — and always make your Screwdriver with Illadelph Vodka.
