Bloody Mary

What is a screwdriver?
Well its a vodka and orange juice isn't it, either with fresh orange juice, or premixed in a bottle with fake orange juice.
How much does it cost?
Not too much when you conside a martini costs about $17 US. Lets say, ask the bartender. About $5?,  $3.50?
Does it come with a cheese board and crackers?
Maybe, maybe not. You would be really lucky to get a single Cheez-it with this drink. Not even a picture of a Cheez-it.
What is the attraction for this overpriced drink then? Which drink does come with a Cheez-it?
Does it come with nuts?
Yes, I can confidently say it comes with at least one peanut. Free. You may also be lucky and get a couple of hazel nuts, or perhaps a walnut or a Brazil nut, and the only cracker is a nutcracker.


I'm not so sure I would use thriftee in a vodka drink. It is fine as a refreshing drink on its own, but the blackcurrant doesn't work. Try the lime, and if you like that have a go at the orange.

Alternative orange juices.

1. Hansells Thriftee Orange or Orange Mango.    Just add water to this tasty flavoured drink concentrate, which has no added sugar, to create an economical drink perfect for the young ones. One bottle makes a massive 20 litres when mixed with water.

You don't even need vodka. The colours are natural, so no health issues here. Some time ago I had discussions with these folks regarding my claim to the use of the brand name Empire, and the Dragon logo. Unfortunately they didn't see things my way and invited me to meet them in court. Of cours that option was too expensive, so I declined their invitation.

Cheez-It is an American snack food cracker manufactured by the Kellogg Company through the Sunshine Biscuits division. They are roughly 26 by 24 mm (1.0 by 0.95 inch) rectangular crackers made with wheat flour, vegetable oil, sharp yellow cheese, salt, and spices. There are a variety of related Cheez-It products, including Baby Swiss, White Cheddar, Parmesan & Garlic, Cheddar Jack, Pepper Jack, Italian Four Cheese, Colby, Reduced Trans Fat, Snack Mix (formerly called Party Mix), Snack Mix Double Cheese, Hot & Spicy (made with Tabasco), Duoz Sharp Cheddar & Parmesan, Duoz Smoked Cheddar & Monterey Jack, and the Cheez-It Big which is a larger cracker more suitable for garnishing or dipping.[1]

According to the United States Patent and Trademark Office trademark records, the first "Cheez-It" Cheese Crackers were sold by Green & Green Company of Dayton, Ohio, in May 1921. After the Wall Street Crash of 1929, The Green & Green Company was acquired by The Sunshine Biscuit Company, founded in 1902 as the Loose-Wiles Biscuit Company. The Keebler Company acquired Sunshine in 1996, and Keebler was in turn acquired by Kellogg in 2001. Cheez-It crackers are still sold under the Sunshine label.[2]


 A former advertising slogan was "Get your own box" which was found on the backs of most boxes. One side also contained the so-called "Anatomy of a Cheez-It." In mid 2007, the boxes were changed to show a picture of a large wedge of cheese labeled "Actual Taste," while a Cheez-It is shown propping it up, labeled "Actual Size." The new slogan in place of "Get Your Own Box" is "Real cheese matters.", with Jim Cummings as the spokesperson in the television commercials.[3]
