What is a Screw-Up Drink?

Screw Up Drink is similar to plain vodka and 7up drinks but with the addition of orange.
Ingredients Review:
Vodka is a clear-colored liquor. This drink is made from grain through a distillation process. The grain is fermented first before being distilled. For example, using rye or even using potatoes. The taste is neutral and there is almost no alcohol content.
Vodka blends well with drinks and provides a great flavor addition to cocktails including the Screw Up Drink.
Orange juice comes from fresh oranges and is pulp-free. The dregs are removed so that it feels smoother and tastier.
7-Up is a type of soda. Another ingredient is a 7up soda drink. This is a carbonated drink just like other fizzy drinks, it is bubbly and has a lemon-lime taste so it feels more refreshing.
When to Make Screw-Up Drink
It tastes fresh with a mixture of sweet and sour from citrus fruit. This sweet and sour taste allows it to be served at many events including:
- Party by the pool
- Barbecue

- Spring or summer party.
- Possible variations
If you want a little variation of this drink, you can try the following changes.
You can replace 7up with Sprite, both are lemon-lime sodas. However, the taste combination can be slightly different. But Sprite produces a bit of the same cocktail flavor.
If you often use vodka, sometimes you can make it different, try using Citron vodka. Citron vodka is vodka with orange or citrus flavors. This would pair well with orange juice.
