Absolut Haring Screw cocktail recipe
RECIPE BY: ABSOLUT DRINKS TEAM
WRITTEN BY: SCOTT VAN DORT
The Absolut Haring Screw is a new vodka-based drink and a twist on a classic Screwdriver cocktail. This simple serve drink is one of three signature drinks created for the release of Absolut Haring, and is the easiest of the three to make.
Where the classic Screwdriver is a simple two-ingredient cocktail, the Absolut Haring Screw adds a unique twist with the addition of Ginger Syrup and Sesame Oil. It’s the Screwdriver like you’ve never experienced before!

The History of Absolut Haring Screw
The Absolut Haring Screw was created in 2025 by the Absolut Drinks team as one of three signature cocktails to celebrate the release of Absolut Haring – a nearly 40-year collaboration between Absolut and artist Keith Haring (1958-1990).
A simple serve version of the Absolut Haring Fizz, it’s a twist on the Screwdriver cocktail, incorporating the unique flavors of Sesame Oil and Ginger Syrup – an homage to Keith Haring’s love for Asian cuisine.
Tips for Making the Perfect Absolut Haring Screw
Make Your Own Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice
The secret to amazing drinks lies in using top-notch ingredients, and with a simple cocktail like a Screwdriver, quality matters even more.
Here’s the golden rule: always juice your own fruits. The best way to get more juice out of your fruits is with a Centrifugal Juicer. When you use one of those, your Orange Juice is going to have this incredible airy and almost fluffy texture.
No Juicer? No problems. A Blender works well too but you’ll need to strain the juice before using it.
A Citrus Elbow or Citrus Squeezer work too…but be prepared to do a lot of pressing!
Serving and Garnish Ideas for the Absolut Haring Screw
Like a classic Screwdriver, we recommend serving the Absolut Haring Screw in a Highball Glass filled with Ice Cubes. Garnish with an Orange Wheel.
