The Screaming Orgasm is the ultimate example of the 1980s 'dessert in a glass' style, blending four distinct spirits with no non-alcoholic mixer. The vodka cuts the viscosity of the three liqueurs, while the amaretto and Irish cream provide a nutty, lacto-sweet profile. It is incredibly rich, sweet, and potent, often served on the rocks as a slow sipper. It bridges the gap between the White Russian and the Mudslide.

Did you know?
“The drink originated as simply the 'Orgasm,' but the addition of vodka (making it stronger/louder) earned it the 'Screaming' prefix in 1980s chain bars.”
