NOTES
As legend tells it, back in the 1950s, American oilmen working on an oil rig in Iran used screwdrivers to stir their vodka and orange juice. The drink and the name caught on to become the classic highball served as a Sunday brunch libation. This is best enjoyed when made with fresh orange juice.
