Safety

Warning: extensive consumption of alcohol may reduce your mental and physical capacity and your ability to behave like a decent human being.

Ingredients

A sicilian screwdriver consists mainly of blood orange juice. While the freshly squeezed variety is preferred, due to financial and logistic constraints a pre-squeezed and bottled juice is used commonly. The alcoholic component is vodka. While no particular brand is endorsed, we recommend vodka from closed, labeled and sealed bottles and purchased at a shop over vodka sourced from dark basements, vendors in the park and anything that comes in unlabeled plastic bottles. The alcohol content in and health risk caused by these liquids can vary. Garnishes used vary, the most common choices are a slice of blood orange or two to five ice cubes. Other garnish options depend on personal preferences and the setting of the event and include, but are not limited to: mint leaves, tiny umbrellas, a slice of lemon, a reusable straw or an actual screwdriver.

Tools

A sicilian screwdriver is traditionally served in a highball glass. Depending on resource availability, other containers are permitted as well. For measuring the vodka, a measuring cup or spoon holding 4cl of liquid is used. We strongly recommend this to avoid overdosing. Further, a ruler or measuring tape will come in handy.
