Hellos classic cocktail with a makeover.
This trusty citrusy fellow got pimped out and I’m smitten.
Let me tell you.
A standard screwdriver consists of A) vodka, and B) orange juice.
Good, but there is definitely room for improvement.
A little extra something something, if you know what I mean.
So, I swapped in tasty tangerine juice and added a bit of bubbles, plus essence of lime.
You’re welcome.
If you want me to break it down even further, I simply added a good ole glug of Costco vodka to a hippy mason jar, followed by sweet-tart tangerine juice, zesty lime La Croix, a handful of ice cubes + a fresh lime wedge for aesthetics.
Can I get a cheeeeers!
P.S. If you want a fizzier adult beverage, add more sparkling water, duh.
P.P.S. If you can’t find tangerine juice, orange juice is fine. And by fine I mean it will do but really try to obtain some liquid sun.
