Screw Driver (Vodka) Rice

Recipe #300442 | 15 min | 5 min prep | SERVES 4 -6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Chef Engineer

I got this idea partially from the lemon rice recipe and decided to experiment a little. This is a relatively light rice that works well with almost any chicken dish. It has a hint of orange and a hint of vodka. All ingrediants listed below are estimates, add more or less to your liking. Cooking is more fun when you stray from the recipe!
