The Orange Creamsicle cocktail is a liquid version of the creamy frozen treat. This recipe is a great use for vanilla vodka, which was the only sweet vodka available when the drink first became a big hit. This is a winner!

  • 1 oz. Vodka

  • 1 oz. Triple Sec

Hi, I'm Scott Gardner, your mindful mixologist. While I am not a professional bartender, I have made well over two hundred different and unique cocktails, and invented over fifteen original drinks, including my famous European Vacation, Muzetta's Waltz, and The Cherry Bella, all of which can be found in my book, Lock it, Flip it, Kick it & Shake!

Besides shaking, stirring, and sipping, I also enjoy golfing, reading, and writing. My wife and I both love animals and we have recently gotten into birding, which is a fun and rewarding hobby. And our favorite birds... The Philadelphia Eagles, of course! Go Birds!
