Vodka and Orange Juice

Screwdriver, right? My question is, (In your humble opinion) is there anything else one can add to this drink to enhance It? Seems someone mentioned grenadine to me once but I don’t think I want the sweetness.

Bored in NC.

UncaBeer? :wink:

that’s a tequila sunrise.

if you don’t want it sweet, try grapefruit juice instaed of orange juice. it’s a salty dog if you put salt on the glass. I think. Other wise it’s a vodka grape.

If you put a bit of peach schnapps in it as well, you get kind of a twist on a fuzzy navel.

whoops, it would be a tequila sunrise if you were using tequila. lime and vodak is good too. a bullfrog, in the old days.

Cranberry juice would make it a madras. One of my faves.

Add some Galliano and you’ve got yourself a Harvey Wallbanger.

I thought a grapefruit and vodka was a greyhound ( I knew about the salty dog), but maybe that’s just what my dad calls them. I was sure that there was a name for vodka and cranberry, but didn’t know what it was. Hmm! We just call them vodka cranberries.

Vodka and cranberry juice = a Cape Cod.

Greyhounds and Cape Cods are my favorite cocktails.

I’ve heard grapfruit and vodka as a greyhound, too.

Maybe some Rose’s lime juice or triple sec? Tarts things up a bit. Myself, I put triple sec, a dash of peach schnapps, vodka, and OJ in a martini shaker and serve it strained so it’s cold, but no ice to spit out. It’s basically a fuzzy navel except for the ratios of the ingredients.

In HS the standard drink was cheap vodka with lemonaide. Really not a bad drink, either.

Or forget the vodka entirely and mix fresh orange juice with champagne: mimosa.

Wonderful for a really blow-out, decadent breakfast or brunch. Or just for the hell of it.

Veb

Leave out the orange juice mix the voddka with milk of magnesia and you have a Phillips screwdriver.

::: Ducks and runs :::

The complete list!

Dang! You beat me to it. I love Harvey Wallbangers for sitting on the patio in the summertime.

Yeah… If I ever meet you…

Add sloe gin and Southern Comfort and you’ve got…

A Slow Comfortable Screw

I don’t know who’s worse, rick or lurkmeister. Groan… (LOL!) :smiley:

Anyway I think the cranberry juice addition is kind of what I was looking for. “Cape Cod” eh? thanks Cervaise.

Sure are a lot of drinkers around here! :slight_smile:

It gets worse, Jake-- I think Lurkmeister’s drink is a commonly recognized one, and I think if you add Galliano you get a Slow Comfortable Screw against a Wall [from Harvey Wallbanger]?

A couple of years ago I thought of one [really just the pretense for a half-formed joke] that I called the Brentwood-- OJ [The Juice], vodka [this makes a screwdriver. . .] tomato juice [ fused with a Bloody Mary]; garnish with a Barbie head.

HA! :smiley: :smiley:

Well, there’s this guy at my pub that calls “Budwieser” “Butwiper”
but that’s another story. :wink:

So where should one keep their Vodka?

Why would you keep it anywhere? Vodka is for drinking, silly goose! :wink:
