🍹 Rumdriver Cocktail Recipe - A Tropical Twist on a Classic Screwdriver

Looking for a cocktail that’s fruity, refreshing, and just a little adventurous? The Rumdriver Cocktail mixes the smoothness of rum with the bright citrus punch of orange juice to create a tropical delight.

Perfect for summer evenings or casual get-togethers, this easy-to-make cocktail is a must-try for rum lovers and cocktail beginners alike.


🧾 Ingredients (Serves 1)

  • 60ml White rum (chilled)

  • 120ml Freshly squeezed orange juice

  • Ice cubes

  • Orange slice or mint sprig for garnish (optional)



🧊 How to Make It – Step-by-Step

  1. Fill a tall glass with ice
    Use plenty of ice to keep the drink cold and refreshing.

  2. Pour in the rum
    White rum works best here, but you can experiment with spiced rum for a richer flavor.

  3. Add the orange juice
    Freshly squeezed orange juice offers the best brightness, but good quality store-bought juice works too.

  4. Stir gently
    Mix all ingredients with a spoon or straw until well combined.

  5. Garnish and serve
    Add an orange slice or a sprig of fresh mint for that extra touch of elegance.


💡 Adi’s Tips for the Perfect Rumdriver

  • For a stronger kick, try equal parts rum and orange juice.

  • Add a splash of grenadine for a sweet twist and beautiful sunset color.

  • Use blood orange juice if you want a tangier, richer flavor.

  • For a low-calorie version, replace orange juice with soda water and a dash of orange bitters.


🌴 Why You’ll Love the Rumdriver

This cocktail is a tropical spin-off of the classic screwdriver (vodka + orange juice) that gives you a smoother, slightly sweeter taste. It’s ideal for lazy afternoons by the pool, beach parties, or even a casual home bar setup.

📜 Fun Fact

The screwdriver cocktail got its name from American oil workers who would stir their vodka and orange juice with a screwdriver on oil rigs in the mid-20th century. The Rumdriver is a playful nod to this classic but swaps vodka for rum, giving it a Caribbean vibe.
