Boozie Orange Creamsicle Recipe

Chill glass

Place a coupe or tall chilled glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes to keep the cocktail cold while assembling.

Combine base ingredients

In a blender, add 2 oz vodka, 1 oz orange liqueur, and 3 oz Florida-style orange juice.

Add cream & ice

Add 1.5 cups vanilla ice cream and 2 Tbsp whole milk (or heavy cream). If you prefer a slightly slushier texture, add up to 1 cup ice. Do not overfill the blender jar—leave a little headspace.

Blend to smooth

Secure the lid and blend on medium-high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 20–35 seconds. Scrape down the sides once if needed and pulse again briefly to fully incorporate.

Remove the chilled glass from the freezer. Pour or gently spoon the blended creamsicle mixture into the glass, filling to about ¼ inch from the rim.

Top with approximately 2 Tbsp whipped cream, either store-bought from a can or freshly whipped.

Garnish with 1 orange slice on the rim or floated on the whipped cream. Optionally, grate a tiny pinch of orange zest over the top for extra aroma.

Serve immediately with a straw or small long spoon. Stir once before drinking to marry the alcohol with the cream if it has started to separate.

To make a non-blended version: in a shaker, combine the vodka, orange liqueur, and orange juice with ice; shake and strain into a glass with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and top with whipped cream. For a boozier drink, increase vodka by 0.5–1 oz; for a lighter cocktail, reduce vodka to 1–1.5 oz.
