SlowEff Cocktail Drink: A Sloe Comfortable Screw

A Sloe Comfortable Screw is a mixed drink made with Sloe Gin, Southern Comfort, Vodka and Orange Juice. It is typically served in a highball glass with ice. It is commonly made with equal parts of Sloe Gin, Southern Comfort, and Vodka, and either another part orange juice (for a shot) or enough orange juice to fill the glass (for a lighter cocktail). Ice is commonly added to the lighter version.


Name
The name Sloe Comfortable Screw is from the ingredients:

Sloe - Sloe Gin (pronounced like "slow")
Comfortable - Southern Comfort
Screw - Vodka and orange juice, which is a Screwdriver

Variations
The suggestive nature of the pun in the drink's name has invited many variations, extending the pun. A few examples are:

Sloe Comfortable Screw Against the Wall [6] - Floating a dash of Galliano on top turns the Screwdriver into a Harvey Wallbanger. Commonly served with a cherry.
Sloe Comfortable Screw Against the Wall, With a Kiss [7] - Adding a dash of Amaretto on top of the Galliano, adds a little amore ("love") - or a kiss.
Sloe Comfortable Screw Against The Wall With Satin Pillows The Hard Way [8] - Adding 1 part Galliano make it against the wall, 1 part Frangelico gives it satin. But 1 part whisky makes the satin into a soft pillow that hits you in the head (like it does in a Pillow Mint or a Pillow Biter) and makes it hard

Cheers
