Fancy screwdriver. Which is good, if you like screw drivers.

Pretty good! Though mine was lacking the white foam seen in the photo. Is the recipe missing egg white, or did I just not shake for long enough? I also forgot to add the nutmeg which might've played a part in it. Still, very tasty and light.

definitely too tangy for me, but i used pasteurized oj

This is one of my favourite cocktails, however, the original recipe is a little bit too sour for me, so I have switched the lime and orange juice volumes around and that's exactly the right balance for me.

Agreed! I've further “adapted” Dale’s recipe to the above. For the record, the previous recipe: 45 vodka, 22.5 falernum, 37.5 lime juice, 22.5 orange juice, 2 dash aromatic bitters.
