This video speaks volumes. And it is not just the way 19 year olds drink it. I used to go to an annual party with my parents. The guys behind the bar which was always an open bar would over serve the alcohol mainly because they did not know what they were doing. When you get a rum and coke and it is almost clear because of so much rum....poor form. I've even had some of the worst cocktails of my life when I went to very high end upscale restaurants. Places you would expect the bar tenders to know what they were doing. The drinks are almost undrinkable with so much alcohol. I am just venturing into the world of craft cocktails and mixology and thanks to this channel and a couple of others, I have realized how fantastic a well made, proper proportioned cocktail can taste. It can be a work of art that can be thoroughly enjoyed. So thanks for posting this video and all of your other videos. They have been great for me and very educational in my journey into craft cocktails and mixology.
Greg, I am happy that I have been able to help you. I felt i needed to remind people that sometimes more is not always better. And how I was not sick as a teenager more often, I don't know. :)
I agree with you about how you can add a whole lot of things to this cocktail, it's very much a blank canvas like a vodka soda. My current favorite ratio is equal parts Vodka, OJ, and club soda (1.5 oz each, usually a little heavier on the OJ), plus a dash or two of Ango and garnish with a slice of orange over whatever ice I've got.
This is one of the best starts to your video's lol The screwdriver was my go to drink back when the drinking age was 18. Yes, When I was 18, you could drink in bars. Cheers my friend.
I love the amazing candour in this episode. Really simplifies the idea of getting ratios right when building drinks that are simply a spirit and a mixer. Takes me back to being 16 and having the endure conversation with the one guy who bragged about drinking vodka-cokes with half the glass being vodka...who also seemed to be having the least fun and would be unconscious before everyone else
Thank you for the lesson .Here in boozy England I was given a vodka & orange by my mum aged around 12/13 and I did not want it to end. I have also seen a drunk man puke in his glass of vodka and orange and obliviously drink it ! RIP Matthew .
The way I drink it is essentially a new cocktail I don't have a name for. I put 60ml or so of triple distilled vodka in a rocks glass, and add around a quarter of a small packet of saffron. I stir until the vodka goes orange, then fill the rest of the glass with a 2:1 ratio of fresh orange then fresh clementine juice. I leave a slight gap at the top for ice, add a lot of ice, then a whole star of star anise for the centre and a few pieces of the same at the edges of the drink. I stir for thirty revolutions to diffuse the anise, and to chill and slightly dilute the drink: then add a few thin half slices of apple, plus a thin apple wheel to garnish the rim of the glass. When you drink, you get hit first by the mingled scent of the apple and aniseed, then a vanilla like warmth overtakes you from the saffron mingled with the citrus juice. It's heavenly. I suppose you could always add a few dashes of Angostura bitters, or a capful of dry vermouth if you wish, but the drink is perfect as I'm currently drinking it.
In my highschool instead of vodka and orange juice, we used to mix it with gatorade and call it "Special G" LMAO but vodka and orange juice was probably the first thing i ever had, besides a beer, or jack and coke.
I remember those days of more vodka was better. Long time ago. That was a pretty good chug you did. lol. great drink. thanks for showing me how NOT to Fu** it up. cheers
Not sure i get the purpose of having so much ice except for making the drink cheaper to make. 1 ice cube make the drink cold. All that extra ice will melt and in the end you drink mostly water.
I've always made mine more or less the same as your good one, only I use way less ice and more juice because I really dislike when I can feel the ice cubes touching my face as I drink.
This reminds me of Basil Fawlty and his inability to even visualize this drink when taking meal orders from guests, I guess being told "one screwdriver" made his mind click onto the hand tool instead of this drink 😂 Oh and when we were teens we measured the same way with our fingers too, and just the right amount of juice to hide all the booze, good and crazy times those were, well at least the ones we remember 🤣
I am drinking my second screwdriver rn and it’s perfect. The first one I made from the google recipe, which was 2:1 orange to vodka and ice (but it didn’t specify how much). I put one ice cube, 2oz of vodka and 4oz of orange juice and all it tasted like was bitter vodka. Amazing how much more ice and a better ratio fixes this drink.
my uncle makes rum and coke the same way. the way I describe it is he pours in a full glass of rum and taps the side with an unopened bottle of coke. at least that's what it felt like cause these sons of bitches were strong.
When I saw the title I was affraid this was going to be one of those "you didn't cut the orange the right way and u\you used the wrong temperature ice" kind of videos. I'm glad it's not. Some people think that a drink is only proper if it follows a specific recipe and those people desperately need to grow up. A recipe is a guide that you *must* adjust to taste and anybody who says "I got the wrong screwdriver" needs to tell the bartender how they like that drink to be made. If the bartender refuses, go to a real bar.

The best booze channel on youtube uploads again hell yeah
Yes Sir
@@boozeontherocks So I got a challenge for you try make a tiki drink with tsikoudia as one of the ingredients
Yay! A nice screwdriver. My favourite basic cocktail. Happy hump day!
Happy Hump day Ulgarth.
When he took that gulp!!! I was like oh God and laughed!!
Yep. That was how I felt. 😀

That sounds like a really good variation.

Cheers PJ, when I was a kid it was 19
Its still 18 and 19 up here in canada

I really agree. It was no fun to watch people passed out from drinking to much.
I've had way too many of those company holiday party drinks! I cringed for you on that first one! LOL! Great video as always David! Cheers!
The two finger pour!!! Its one I definitely stay away from now :)
Hahaha who needs coffee with the first drink that will wake ya up
and it will put me to sleep 30 minutes later :)

Your welcome Jamie, sometimes its great and sometimes people make them not so well.
This is the best way to drink vodka in my opinion. You mix it very strong, only a splash of orange juice and plenty of ice.
It is a good way.

That sounds really good.
@@boozeontherocks It's beautiful. I'm going to have another now.
Bottom shelf vodka and Sunny D was how my group of friends messed them up
I feel your pain.
In my highschool instead of vodka and orange juice, we used to mix it with gatorade and call it "Special G" LMAO
but vodka and orange juice was probably the first thing i ever had, besides a beer, or jack and coke.
btw did you finish that glass? XD
I did finish it and I fell asleep 20 minutes later
Yep thats exactly the two finger measurement my friends and I used for our Wodka Red Bulls when we were 18-19 lol
With red bulls, ouch...
@@boozeontherocks look, i am austrian and the mid 2000s were weird
@@Karkman87 That's for sure.
I remember those days of more vodka was better. Long time ago. That was a pretty good chug you did. lol. great drink. thanks for showing me how NOT to Fu** it up. cheers
Your welcome. Those were the days.
This is one of your best.... oh 19 was so f*ckin' fun 😁😁😁😁😁😁
Thank you, It was fun for sure.
i feel like i am back in cuba again but instead of rum its vodka
Cuba is always a good time.
think I'll try the F*** up screw driver for my next drink lololol
Its not the best, I will admit lol..
19 yo kid?! That age you're allready a professional here in Europe!!! 😂 Cheers
So I hear :) Cheers!!
Best cocktail ever¡
I agree with you Nicolas.
Not sure i get the purpose of having so much ice except for making the drink cheaper to make. 1 ice cube make the drink cold. All that extra ice will melt and in the end you drink mostly water.
The amount of ice also has to do with keeping the ratios correct. That way you don't swing the cocktail to far in one direction.
I’m from uk and how this can be called a cocktail is crazy vodka orange 😂
That is a great name for it :)
Fresh squeezed is the best
I agree with you Tony
I've always made mine more or less the same as your good one, only I use way less ice and more juice because I really dislike when I can feel the ice cubes touching my face as I drink.
I can definitely understand that,
This reminds me of Basil Fawlty and his inability to even visualize this drink when taking meal orders from guests, I guess being told "one screwdriver" made his mind click onto the hand tool instead of this drink 😂
Oh and when we were teens we measured the same way with our fingers too, and just the right amount of juice to hide all the booze, good and crazy times those were, well at least the ones we remember 🤣
That they were!!!
When homie fill up the whole glass I knew he was trying to die growing up lmao idk me personally i do a 1/4 of a cup without ices
I did enjoy them strong way back then.
@@boozeontherocks make sense lmao I'm just trying to get a buzz lmao
@@ShanaynayGosby I understand that.

I agree. Once you get it right. It becomes fantastic.
Mix red raves with care and not drop it without screwing up!
I will do my best.
I feel the first drink was a bit diluted. You should have added some more vodka.
Your right, lol....
Funny video. However, the recipe is quite complicated. Could you simplify it? 🤣
Which Part were struggling with? lol... A proper pour of 2 fingers :)
Where is the actual screwdriver to stir it?
I knew I forgot something.....
my uncle makes rum and coke the same way. the way I describe it is he pours in a full glass of rum and taps the side with an unopened bottle of coke. at least that's what it felt like cause these sons of bitches were strong.
lol.... I love that description Odin. That does seem to be a theme for those though.
make it a double and it’s a Phillips Screwdriver
I could go for one of those.
When I saw the title I was affraid this was going to be one of those "you didn't cut the orange the right way and u\you used the wrong temperature ice" kind of videos. I'm glad it's not.

That's what we call a "Josagrogg" in Sweden....

(Sorry no English subs)
I remember that part in the Movie. I wish there were subtitles, But I can picture it now.
❤
Thank you.
too much vodka
That's faire.
I really like your videos, but is just one problem, that you talk too much, just make the drinks with less of talk. Ty
