History
The Screaming Orgasm belongs to the creamy, suggestively named drinks associated with 1980s American bar culture. Difford's Guide identifies it as a familiar 1980s cocktail but does not establish a specific creator, date or original printed recipe. A commonly told evolution adds vodka to an Orgasm-family combination of coffee liqueur, Irish cream and amaretto, sometimes with milk or cream. The precise sequence of that evolution remains unverified; the name and formulas vary among bar manuals. **Attribution confidence:** See sourced account and qualifications above.
