SCREWDRIVER
: Made in Iran
The first reference to oil workers in Iran creating the Screwdriver comes in an article from the April 1965 issue of House & Garden, 'Cocktail lore and legend':
"...the screwdriver, which tastes like orange juice but is considerably more potent, is believed to have originated with American oil workers in Iran who drank vodka and orange juice, stirring it with screwdrivers they carried attached to their fatigue pants by loops."
