A Virgin ScrewDriver is just like the classic drink, but made with no alcohol, and no it’s not just orange juice! We’re swapping the vodka for something non-non-alocohlic so everyone can enjoy a fun breakfast beverage!

Virgin Screwdriver Cocktail

Not only is this orange juice drink incredibly easy to make but it’s perfect for breakfast or brunch any time of year. It’s similar to a classic Screwdriver cocktail in that it has 2 ingredients and one of them is orange juice, but this one is a mocktail!

2 Ingredients Needed

  • Orange Juice: I use juice with no pulp to make sure the drink is smooth!
  • Lemon-Lime Soda: Any brand (like Sprite or 7up) or use club soda, or for a more vodka-like flavor use Tonic Water.
