Liquids

  • 1 ounce vanilla vodka (chilled)
  • 6 ounces orange soda (or to taste, chilled)

Other

  • Ice (optional)
  • Whipped cream
  • Orange sanding sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glass: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes if desired to keep the cocktail chilled and refreshing.
  2. Add Vanilla Vodka: Pour 1 ounce of chilled vanilla vodka over the ice to form the flavorful base of the cocktail.
  3. Pour Orange Soda: Slowly add 6 ounces of chilled orange soda over the vodka and ice, filling the glass to the rim or to taste, to create the fizzy, citrusy mix.

Notes

  • You can omit the ice if you prefer a stronger flavor and serve the cocktail very chilled instead.
  • Orange sanding sugar adds a fun texture and enhances the creamsicle theme; it’s optional but recommended for presentation.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute vanilla vodka with vanilla extract or omit it entirely.
  • Adjust orange soda quantity to your preferred level of sweetness and fizziness.
