Comfortable Screw Up Against A Wall Recipe
Shake ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into a highball glass full of ice.
Screw Driver\'s Ingenious Origin: The moniker "Screw Driver" has a fascinating backstory rooted in the mid-20th Century, where American oil rig workers stationed around the Persian Gulf devised a novel way to elevate their orange juice. By infusing it with a spirited kick of Vodka and employing a trusty screwdriver as a stirring implement, they unwittingly gave birth to a classic cocktail that has endured through the ages.
The enigmatic origins of the Screw Up cocktail veil themselves in intrigue, an unsolved puzzle whispering tales of the past. Yet, a plausible narrative unfolds, painting the Screw Up as a spirited sibling of the time-honored Screwdriver cocktail. Imagine the scene: vodka and orange juice in harmonious coexistence, with a dash of effervescence to elevate the experience?this is the signature ensemble of the Screw Up. A touch of lemon-lime soda or the beloved 7-Up completes this symphony of flavors, crafting a potion that seamlessly blends simplicity and rejuvenation. Over time, this delightful alchemy has gracefully waltzed into the hearts of bar enthusiasts, etching itself as a cherished gem. The name itself is a testimony to the importance of the 7-Up in this offering. The Up in Screw Up is probably the 7 Up itself.
NOTE: There are several variations of the Screw Up and an interesting point to note is that beyond the original, most of the other inspired variations go beyond the simple Vodka, Orange Juice and 7 Up mix and use Galliano, the herbal liqueur, for a more diverse flavour profile, Thus, taking the original beyond the regular, and although originals always remain to be the originals, these fine variants are no less interesting either, Check them here for further inspirations.
NOTE: The moniker the wall for Galliano emerged from bartenders\' practice of positioning the tall, slender Galliano bottle against the wall on the shelf for storage. This arrangement, driven by the bottle\'s shape, gradually gave rise to the term "the wall" as a shorthand reference for Galliano. Although the precise genesis of this moniker might lack comprehensive documentation, it has evolved into a widely adopted colloquialism within the bartending sphere.
NOTE: The moniker comfortable refers to the Southern Comfort.
NOTE: The Screw Up obviously refers to the original Vodka and Orange Juice.
NOTE: a Peach Schnapps cocktail is often referred to as a Fuzzy Navel. The Fuzzy Navel is a highball cocktail that typically consists of peach schnapps and orange juice. The Fuzzy here refers to the Peach Schnapps.
Galliano
Galliano is a liqueur made from neutral alcohol steeped with a wide range of herbs and spices ranging from juniper, anise, vanilla, musk yarrow, lavender and many more herbs and has a distinctive vanilla sweetness. Caramel and tartrazine is used to create the bright yellow colour. It's distinctive vanilla top note and sweetness and flavour separates it from other anise flavoured herbal liqueurs like Anisette, Sambuca and Pernod, and you don't need any sweetner syrup while mixing Galliano. Galliano or Liquore Galliano L'Autentico, is the creation of Artur Vaccari of Livorno, Tuscany, who created this liqueur in 1896 and named it after Giuseppe Galliano, a Royal Italian Army Officer. Galliano is bottled at 30% and 42.3% ABV.
Southern Comfort
Southern Comfort is an American, fruit flavoured whiskey liqueur. Originally created by bartender Martin Wilkes Heron in New Orleans in 1874, the brand has gone through closure during the Prohibitions and transitions and transfer of ownership.
Spirit Historian Chris Morris describes the original recipe of Southern Comfort in an episode of The Thirsty Traveler titled "A River of Whiskey"
Heron began with good-quality bourbon and would add: An inch [2.5 cm] of vanilla bean, about a quarter of a lemon, half of a cinnamon stick, four cloves, a few cherries, and an orange bit or two. He would let this soak for days. And right when he was ready to finish, he would add his sweetener: he liked to use honey. - Wikipedia
In the United States, Southern Comfort is available as 42 US proof (21% ABV), 70 US proof (35% ABV), 100 US proof (50% ABV), and 60 US proof (30% ABV) in Australia. Varieties including additional flavorings, such as lime and caramel, were introduced by Brown–Forman in the latter years of their ownership. These were discontinued by Sazerac - Wikipedia
Vodka
Vodka is an European clear distilled alcoholic drink that has been one of the most popular drinks across the world .
You\'ll find it to be the most popular spirit in drink making because of it\'s neutral taste and absence of flavour and colour.
Vodka often replaces Gin in many traditional cocktails
Vodka is known to be good for the heart, and if consumed in moderation, can prove to be good for cardiovascular health
Note that these days there are flavoured Vodka available in the market too, and some cocktails do make use of them.Orange Juice
Orange Juice is an excellent source of Vitamin C, one cup contains twice the daily recommended value. Vitamin C supports the immune system and helps fighting the common cold. The folate in Orange juice supports healthy fetal development. It is low calory and thus is already a qualified alternative to cola fizz in your cocktail if you want to keep your drinks acceptably healthy.
Orange Juice being citrus and naturally sweet and sour, it literally goes with almost any liquor, and of course Vodka being neutral, the best known pairing is with Vodka. But goes well with Dark Rum too, and you get the Planter's Punch, mix it with Champagne and you have made a mimosa, or with tequila to make a tequila sunrise.
