Description
The Sunset Screwdriver is a colorful take on the classic screwdriver cocktail. Made with vodka and fresh orange juice, topped with grenadine to create a stunning sunset effect — perfect for brunches or casual evenings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz vodka
- 4 oz fresh orange juice
- 1/2 oz grenadine
- Ice
- Orange slice, for garnish
Instructions
- Fill Glass with Ice: Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.
- Add Vodka and Orange Juice: Pour vodka and orange juice over the ice and stir gently.
- Create the Sunset: Slowly pour grenadine over the back of a spoon or down the side of the glass. It will settle at the bottom for a layered look.
- Garnish: Add an orange slice on the rim and serve immediately.
Notes
For a sweeter version, add a splash of triple sec or adjust grenadine to taste. To make it a frozen cocktail, blend all ingredients (except grenadine) with ice and drizzle grenadine on top after pouring.
