Head to head
Paloma and Screwdriver side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference, by the numbers
They have no ingredient in common: the Paloma has tequila, lime juice, salt and grapefruit soda, the Screwdriver vodka and orange juice. In parts, a Paloma is 1 tequila and 2 grapefruit soda; a Screwdriver is 1 vodka and 2 orange. By volume, the Paloma is 65% mixer and juice, 32% spirit and 3% citrus; the Screwdriver is 67% mixer and juice and 33% spirit. Different bottles, similar balance: that makes them close cousins on the ratio map.
They are about equally strong in the glass (11.7% and 12.1% ABV), and they hold about the same alcohol (1.13 standard drinks each). Calories are close (about 154 and 158), but the Paloma has more sugar (10.8 g against 8.8 g). Both are built and served in a highball.
