Trivia

  1. As the story goes, the Screwdriver was created some time in the 1940s in the Middle East by groups of Americans who wanted to use the neutral grain spirits which were more readily available in the region.

  2. The cocktails stems from the fact that they would use their tools (namely, a screwdriver) to mix the drink.

  3. Vodka brands used the Screwdriver as part of their marketing campaigns as they tried to sell their product in the US.

  4. Marketing campaigns often lauded the fact that vodka could not be detected after being drunk, so you could more easily drink it during work hours without getting caught.
