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). 

Mini Cosmopolitans

The Cosmopolitan, a classic and vibrant pink cocktail, is made with citrus vodka, orange liqueur (Cointreau or triple sec), cranberry juice, and fresh lime juice. It gained significant popularity in the 1990s, partly due to its frequent appearance on the TV show Sex and the City.
