The cocktail made of orange juice and vodka is called a screwdriver

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 44 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (4 children)

Replace the vodka with champaign and it's called a Mimosa and it's fancy.

[–] abysmalpoptart@lemmy.world 24 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm not having a glass of wine, I'm having six. It's called a tasting and it's classy!

And nobody will judge you for getting blitzed at brunch on mimosas!

However, I have learned that if you go to a cross-dress club (I actually really don’t know what the place was, or how to describe it, but it was like cabaret, I guess, with cross-dressers. Fucking blast!) and get blitzed on dollar mimosas -in the evening-, they will absolutely judge you :)

Combine orange juice with fruit wine and it's prickly.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago

A mimosa is just breakfast alcohol.

[–] MisterD@lemmy.ca 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Also the new Craftsman tools are nowhere as good as the original stuff.

I call it Crapsman tools

[–] spiderwort@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

Is it all craftsman?

I have heard it's just the craftsman power tools. Which I avoid. But I got a $100 impact driver that's still going strong after 4 years.

But the hand tools. Got a screwdriver. Seems ok.

Did they get sold to China?

In Germany we just call this Vodka-O.

Good boomer humor

[–] KISSmyOSFeddit@lemmy.world 42 points 7 months ago (4 children)

unpopular opinion: A drink that's just booze and juice doesn't deserve a fancy name.
Where I come from, it's called Vodka Orange, or Vodka-O.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm a firm believer in that it's not a cocktail unless it has three or more ingredients.

[–] WamGams@lemmy.ca 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That's what the ice is for.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Frozen water is not an ingredient.

[–] LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 7 months ago

No, it's two!

[–] ElmarsonTheThird@feddit.de 11 points 7 months ago

I'm guessing German rural areas?

Other notable mentions:

Vodka-Bull

Jäger-Bull

Jacky-Cola

Gin-Tonic (more common everywhere)

[–] quicksand@lemm.ee 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I call it orange vod-juice-ka

Consider the bloody mary.

Tomato. Arguably a fruit. Juiced. With vodka. A grind of pepper. Some other mysterious stuff.

Then a whole breakfast stuffed into the top. Celery. Pickles. Fried chicken. Go wild.

There's a deep beauty there. Beyond the hearty morning buzz.

[–] SilverCode@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Ah, you talking about Second Breakfast!

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

We literally just call it vodka juice

[–] Nusm@yall.theatl.social 24 points 7 months ago

It took me waaaaay too embarrassingly long to get this.

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 23 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (3 children)

Don't use Tropicana. Use Simply.

Edit: Someone's downvoting this excellent advice?

Try the two side by side. It's night and day.

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I use Tampico

I’m too poor for the gallons of orange juice I’d need at a party

[–] quicksand@lemm.ee 7 points 7 months ago

Sunny D gang in the house

[–] spiderwort@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Most of the people here are feral rugrats. They would downvote the sky for being blue.

[–] NucleusAdumbens@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

That had better be a humorous attempt at hyperbole. If you're suggesting the sky is actually blue I'm hitting the downvote button SO HARD

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

As opposed to Angelica, who is clearly a traumatized Rugrat, who is dealing with her little brother's death by imagining the adventures that he would have had with the neighbor's (also imaginary) kids, Chucky, Phil, and Lil

Orange crush.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 16 points 7 months ago

The joke was on me because I had auto-rotate on my phone.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Has anyone else ever came to the realization that the screwing being driven by vodka+orange juice isn't related to construction? 😏

[–] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 3 points 7 months ago (2 children)

We meet again. Lemmy sure is small.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

That, or KOLANAKI is chronically online.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Same could be said about you, or me, for that matter

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Sure, but we're not talking about you or me. We're talking about KOLANAKI.

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

It helps that their name stands out more since it's bold and in bigger font.

It also helps that they're genuinely cool people.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 7 months ago

I had to think about it before I got it. Gosh, I remember when I was a hardcore (24/7 drunk) alky and that was how I drank. There had to be so much sugar in my OJ that I was killing myself almost as much from that as from the booze.

Is this the Bartender remake or whatever? Loved the first one.

How many times was this image screenshoted and recompressed?
