Description
Screwdriver in a Bucket is a big, bold, and boozy take on the classic cocktail. Served in a beachy bucket with ice, fruit, and enough kick to fuel your summer party, this drink is made for sharing — or sipping solo while soaking up the sun.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 clean, food-safe sand bucket
- 2 cups ice
- 1 cup vodka
- 3 cups orange juice (fresh or bottled)
- 1/4 cup orange liqueur (optional for extra citrus punch)
- Orange slices, maraschino cherries, and gummy candy for garnish
- Colorful straws or stir sticks
Instructions
- Prepare the Bucket: Add ice to the sand bucket to fill about halfway.
- Mix the Cocktail: Pour in vodka, orange juice, and orange liqueur (if using). Stir well to combine.
- Garnish: Top with orange slices, cherries, or candy of choice for a festive touch.
- Serve: Insert long straws and enjoy chilled, straight from the bucket with friends!
Notes
For a lighter version, use half vodka and half sparkling water. You can also freeze orange juice cubes ahead of time to keep the drink cold without dilution.
