I can't wait to try your recipe for the Creamsicle cocktail. It sounds delicious!

Back in the day I drank some Harvey Wallbangers, vodka, OJ and Galliano. Tasted like a creamsickle, adding cream might make it even better.

Now you all got me started.

I believe in Georgia they were called Dreamcicles! They were a dream!

Creamsicle Cocktail Recipe:

1.Pour 1-1.5 ounces of vodka, into a glass or cocktail shaker filled with ice.
If you have a standard shot glass, 1.5 ounces is almost to the rim, so 2/3 full would be about a 2 ounce.

2.Pour 1 ounce of triple-sec into the glass.
This is a sweet orange liqueur that acts as both a sweetener and an orange flavor with a kick.

3.Pour about 3-5 ounces of orange juice.
This is the body of your drink, so add however much you think you need.

4.Pour 1-2 ounce of creamer.
This is to help give the drink that creamy thick texture so help simulate the ice cream.

5.Stir the cocktail and serve.
Usually it doesn�t matter whether you shake or stir, but anytime there�s cream or a milk product involved, I prefer stirring to help prevent those dairy bubbles.

Creamsicle Cocktail Ingredients:
�Vanilla Vodka (I recommend Cupcake�s Frosting Vodka for this)
�Triple-Sec
�orange juice
�creamer
�ice
�highball glass

Go the extra mile
�I like to add a splash of soda water to give a little fizz to it.
�Instead of creamer, try adding real vanilla ice cream for a some real ice cream flavor.
�Throw your mixture in the blender for a Creamsicle freeze.
�If you add only 2 ounces of orange juice, sift the ice and serve in a martini glass.

So that�s how you make a Creamsicle cocktail. I hope you take the time to make one of these because they really are delicious and such a treat to have on those hot days.

Now that I am going to have to try!

Easy Creamsicle cocktail

Whipped cream vodka and Cpt Morgan in Sunkist orange soda over ice. Delish!

Thank you bandsdavis - I thought about this all day and last night went to Sweetbay and bought some. It is wonderful!! Now I just have to discipline myself and not go overboard.

I remember them as being called Dreamsicles. Maybe it was a Chicago thing or I dont remember as good as I thought. :shrug:

Mr. FoPAA and I have a little dish of Friendly's Orange Cream every night. Bandsdavis, if there's a shortage I'm blaming YOU!!! :grumpy:

Thankfully, I don't remember ice cream trucks coming around very much when I was a kid. There might have been a few times, I'm not sure. But my family wasn't into non-healthy impulse buying anyway.

Well have I got news for you! Friendly's makes a type of ice cream called "Fruit Swirls" and one flavor is Orange Cream. It's Creamcycle! And it's on sale now at Sweetbay (at least thru Tuesday).

Thanks for the tip. I'll be sure to stay as far away from it as I can.

Enjoy! And serve it with a little chocolate something for a real treat! And Sue told me to tell you it's realtively low fat. :icon_wink:

Low in fat but high in sugar. I'm sorry to say It's very unhealthy and nothing good will come of it.

Unless you value enjoyment and nostalgia :wave:
