Mini Creamsicle Cocktails

A creamsicle cocktail is a sweet, creamy, and nostalgic drink that combines the flavors of orange and vanilla in an adult beverage. The core ingredients are typically vodka (often vanilla or whipped cream flavored), orange juice (or orange soda), and whipped cream (or half-and-half, ice cream, or orange sherbet). 

I used Pinnacle Whipped Vodka and OJ, as well as a dollop of whipped cream:

Mini martini glasses are an ideal way to introduce someone to a new beverage.  They hold only an ounce and are perfect for "sampling":

These cocktails are sweet and sometimes you just need a little taste, rather than a full glass!

• Ice cubes
• Whipped cream for garnish (optional)

1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.

These cocktail will remind you of eating creamsicles as a kid!
