Screwdriver (cocktail)
A screwdriver is a simple and popular alcoholic highball drink made with orange
juice and vodka. In the UK, it is referred to as a "vodka and orange".While the basic drink is
simply the two ingredients, there are many variations. Many of the variations have different
names in different parts of the world.
HISTORY
The drink originated during World War II, when Americans in China and Turkey
mixed neutral spirits with orange juice. The origin of the name "screwdriver" is less clear,
but the name appeared in Ankara, Turkey, in 1943]and 194 and later in Istanbul Variations
on the recipe were present in 1948 in Turkey and also called screwdrivers, such as a mixture
of one-third vodka and two-thirds gin and another recipe adding gin, cognac, bitters, and
other ingredients to orange juice and vodka An unattributed but popular story for the name
is that the Americans lacked a spoon and instead used a screwdriver as a stirring st Another
unattributed story is that auto workers in the USA used to pour vodka in their breakfast
orange juice before starting the shift and used screwdrivers to stir the glass.
Starting mid-1950, vodka rose rapidly in popularity in America, and mixed drinks such as
the screwdriver rose with it. Advertising campaigns in the 1950s and 1960 by voda brands
such as Smirnoff cemented the screwdriver as a vodka favorite.

The Bloody Mary is one of the world’s best-known cocktails, prized for its ability
to jumpstart even the groggiest of mornings. Its origins aren’t exactly clear, but
one likely backstory points to the mid-1930s and Fernand “Pete” Petiot, a
bartender at King Cole Bar at the St. Regis hotel in New York City. Other sources
credit American actor George Jessel, who was said to have favored the
combination of vodka and tomato juice as customer of New York City’s 21 Club,
though Petiot disputed Jessel's contributions to the creation of drink.

Whatever its true origins, the Bloody Mary has persisted as one of the most
popular drinks ever created, and a pioneer of savory cocktails. However, due to
its complex and freewheeling nature, recipes vary widely, and pinning down
exactly what makes for a perfect Bloody Mary is a source of endless debate.
