About this drink
The Screaming Orgasm arrived with the cocktail culture of the 1980s as a boozier version of the simpler Orgasm, which had no vodka. The name is as playful as the drink: a sweet, creamy shaken cocktail built for parties and the dessert table rather than refinement. Its popularity comes down to its rich, milkshake-like texture and, frankly, its very memorable name.
