I do not know why i came up with this name..maybe because i cannot call it a screwdriver makeover ;) My earliest memory of drinking would be when i was 17...my best friend's parents had gone out of town..so i went to spend the night at her place. She, her younger sis who was 16 and me opened her dad's whisky and had it.. i really do not remember how it tasted..us doing something improper..was good enough for us. After a drink, my friend was.. 'let's stop re'..but her sis and me had a couple more..ganged up on her and made her drink a few more ;) The rest of the night passed by 3 of us talking and fantasizing about what would happen if we were to get caught and what if we become hooked to drinking ;) sweet times!
This concoction is off to the Monthly Mingle - Liquid Dreams hosted by Meeta .
What you need ..of course add,subtract or delete what you wish...
Ingredients:
1 part vanilla vodka
2 part orange juice
1 part lemonade (not plain lemon juice)
ice- lots
Method:
Pour all the above in a martini sharker or a huge jar (make sure to wrap a towel around it to prevent spills - u gotta improvise people) and shake away to a couple of beats of good music....strain and put in a fancy glass,tumbler or what u have on hand and cheers ;)
Notes:
1. You can omit the lemonade..it is a screwdriver..
2. You can omit the lemonade and the vodka..you get......plain OJ..
3. If you omit the vodka and orange juice.....you get the drift..

Can't say anything about the recipe as I'm not familiar with it but the photo's beautiful!
My parents introduced me to alcohol... when I was 8 and my brother 13 :-) But after that one round of tasting, we didn't get back to touching the stuff until we were in our early 20s.
Lovely glass... beautiful drink... and oh yeah... we went to a restaurant here and I asked for a vodka with orange juice and lemon... and the waiter actually sneered at me... like I was some novice who didn't know how to mix my drinks... never going back there.
Looks absolutely yummy. Voka and orange juice... what more can you ask for :)
nags- i think u should ;) what other excuse do u need for shopping....
sra - thanks :)
raaga - when he did not understand.. you should have said screwdriver??? if he is still giving u the look you should say screwloose??? he still would not get it..but u and company can laugh ;)

17!?? Are we spilling the beans here! Sig at eleven was an early one - LOL! I think I had my first drink at 17/18 and that too the Long Island Iced Tea! But I really love the sound of this! Refreshing and tangy!
Nice presentation Rajitha.....
It sure looks tempting.....:-)
Will give it a try :-)
lovely blog u have! i will definitely come back for more and this citrus overload makes me want to have it right now,great recipe
Nice glass, great drink. The first time I thought anything with alcohol in it tasted good was when I had vodka but later realized that it was only because that had just 5 % alcohol!!
I don't drink alcohol. I've tasted it a couple of times when my hubby takes a drink, but I did not like it. But the picture of your drink looks too good. Nice glass. will do it for my hubby sometime.
Ha ha....pass this on to Mom and she can catch you now :)
Not much into drinks except the occasional wine but it is a beauty to look at
