The Whisky Highball
Screwdriver
Ingredients
- 4 ounces fresh juice
- Citric Acid Solution, if needed
- 2 ounces
Method
Taste the juice before mixing. If the flavor seems a little flat, add a bit of Citric Acid Solution, a drop at a time, until the flavor is sweet with a tangy bite. Combine the orange juice and vodka in a Highball glass, then add 3 ice cubes. Stir for 3 seconds. No garnish.
History
A simple vodka-and-orange-juice highball whose name is said to come from oil workers stirring the drink with the nearest available tool — a screwdriver — sometime in the mid-20th century.
