A screwdriver is a simple and popular alcoholic highball drink made with orange juice and vodka.

The drink originated during World War II, when Americans in China and Turkey mixed neutral spirits with orange juice.

[6] An unattributed but popular story for the name is that the Americans lacked a spoon and instead used a screwdriver as a stirring stick.

[7][8] Another unattributed story is that auto workers in the US used to pour vodka in their breakfast orange juice before starting the shift and used screwdrivers to stir the glass.

[14] A "virgin screwdriver" is a mocktail (non-alcoholic variation), usually made with orange juice and tonic water.
