It wasn't until vodka swept through mid-twentieth-century America that the Screwdriver - along with other tempting libations (Moscow Mule and Martini to name a couple), began to gain recognition with bartenders as the modern contemporary of highball. Suffice to say a premium vodka (Absolut, Stoli, Smirnoff) or tequila (Arandas, Reserva de la Familia, Jose Cuervo) will often be considered essential for this drink. Pour 2 ounces of this (over a few ice cubes) into a highball glass, and fill the glass with 4 - 6 ounces Tampico, Citrina, hell even tang or the classic freshly squeezed orange juice. Add an orange wheel or a dash of angostura bitters to your highball for a lick of (optional) garnish. Enjoi bitches!
2 oz Vodka/Tequila
5 oz Tampico/Orange Juice/drink
Put 3 ice cubes into a highball glass. Pour in vodka. Fill balance of glass with orange juice, stir, and serve.

1 part vodka
2 parts Cactus Cooler
Similar to a normal screwdriver, but with Cactus Cooler instead of orange juice. Although it may not sound like it, it's a fairly classy drink.

A sex act when one person takes a screwdrivers and puts it up another person's butthole and twists it around repeatedly until blood is drawn.
Joe: "I heard Stew gave Mary a Mexican Screwdriver last night."
Mike: "Yeah, well she shouldn't have taken his truck."
