The Creamsicle is pretty much exactly how it sounds: a liquid version of the popular childhood treat by the same name. This one, however, is made for adults but is quite delicious all the same. It’s a great use for vanilla vodkas and, although it has lost some steam in recent years, is still one bartenders may want to be aware of. The flavor of the vodka mixes well with the orange ingredients and it’s served tall so there’s plenty of creamy sweetness to last awhile.
Ingredients:
- 1 oz vanilla vodka
- 1/2 oz triple sec
- orange juice
- half and half
Preparation:
- Pour the vodka and triple sec into a mixing glass filled with ice.
- Fill with equal parts of orange juice and half and half.
- Shake well.
- Strain into a collins glass filled with fresh ice.
