Variations on the recipe were present in 1948 in Turkey and also called screwdrivers, such as a mixture of one-third vodka and two-thirds gin, and another recipe adding gin, cognac, bitters, and other ingredients to orange juice and vodka.
An unattributed but popular story for the name is that the Americans lacked a spoon and instead used a screwdriver as a stirring stick.
