Categories     Citrus     Cocktail Party

Yield 1 person

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 ounces jalapeño infused vodka*
1 ounce regular vodka
1 ounce basil infused simple syrup**
Top with orange juice

Steps:

  • *To infuse vodka take 1-2 Fresh jalapeño peppers (depending on how spicy the peppers are and how hot you want the drink to be) slice lengthwise and drop into a 1 Liter bottle of vodka. Allow to sit for 2-3 days. The longer the jalapeños sit in the vodka the spicier it will become. **For Simple Syrup: Take equal parts sugar and hot water, dissolve sugar into water stirring until all granules are gone. Take 3-4 large basil leaves for every cup of water, puree the basil in a blender or food processor (you may also use a juicer to "juice" the basil). Add pureed basil to chilled simple syrup and mix thoroughly. If you add the basil puree while the syrup is still warm the end product will turn brown. Build the cocktail in a rocks glass and top if off with OJ. Use the small piece of a mixing tin (shaker) to cover the glass and give 1-2 quick shakes. Garnish with a fresh basil leaf (slap the basil leaf between your palms to release the oils prior to adding to the cocktail).

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Orange Juice: Freshly squeezed orange juice provides the best flavor for your screwdriver. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use a high-quality store-bought orange juice. Avoid using orange juice from concentrate, as it will not have the same flavor.
  • Chill Your Ingredients: Chilling your vodka, orange juice, and glass before making the screwdriver will help to create a more refreshing drink. You can also freeze your vodka for an extra-cold screwdriver.
  • Add a Splash of Grenadine: A splash of grenadine can add a touch of sweetness and color to your screwdriver. This is optional, but it can be a nice addition.
  • Garnish with an Orange Slice: Garnish your screwdriver with a slice of orange for a classic look. You can also add a maraschino cherry for a more festive touch.

Conclusion:

The screwdriver is a classic cocktail that is easy to make and enjoy. With its refreshing citrus flavor, it's perfect for any occasion. Whether you're hosting a party or just relaxing at home, the screwdriver is a great choice. So next time you're looking for a refreshing cocktail, give the screwdriver a try.
