Pro Tips

📜 The Name

Legend has it that American oil workers in the Persian Gulf in the 1950s secretly added vodka to their orange juice and stirred it with screwdrivers – the only tool available.

🍊 OJ Quality

Fresh-squeezed orange juice makes all the difference. If using store-bought, choose not-from-concentrate with pulp. Avoid artificial orange drinks.
