Origin
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The Screwdriver, only consisting of two key ingredients was one of the very first Vodka based cocktails established which also holds a somewhat interesting story on its back when it comes to the surprising name this cocktail received.
Back in the midst of the 20th Century hard working American oil workers out in the Persian gulf on their oil rigs loved their orange juice on the job which they had stocked in bulks.
With work being very draining, dangerous as well as so far secluded from the rest of the world they decided that they had to step up their juice game to make it over the remaining rounds so they began mixing a small amount of Vodka which they had laying around on the side to their juice, but since they didn't have an actual bar at place with proper bar equipment at hand they instead had to resort to their own equipment.
That's where the screwdriver stepped into the spotlight seemingly successful as it deemed to stay for the future and present time even though nobody really uses screwdrivers anymore to stir up this precious mix.
