This story was written by Time Magazine. I give the short version
In 1949 American Engineers working in oil fields in Middle East mixed Orange Juice and vodka together and shared drinks with Turkish and Balkan men at a bar. The drink was referred to as a "Yankee concoction." The story concludes that one American engineer poured the vodka into the can of juice and mixed it with a screwdriver.
And the name was born. Whatever variation you may here it comes down to the fact that the juice and vodka were mixed with a screwdriver.
Anecdotally, Vodka mixed with Prune Juice is called a PILE DRIVER!!

What to you call a drink that is cranberry juice vodka orange juice?
Order this as "A Vodka and Cranberry", or if you have a specific vodka in mind, such as Absolute, order it as an "Absolute Cranberry".Excellent seclection. I suggest ordering a slice of lime with it, too.If you want something with more flavor, try a flavored vodka, such as a Grape 3 Olives Vodka and Cranberry - tastes like a melted grape freezer pop! They'll do this in Cherry, Blueberry, Orange...ect (Cherry 3 Olives Vodka and Cranberry...ect). Don't worry, there's no olive taste (or vodka taste) whatsoever.Be careful, its way too easy to drink!

Pomegranate juice is a fairly new product, and I don't think a name has been settled upon. Vodka, orange juice, and grenadine make a Vodka Sunrise, which is a Tequila Sunrise with a vodka substitution. Grenadine, a red syrup, is traditionally made with pomegranate, although you should check the ingredients, because many manufacturers have eliminated it to save costs.
