Orange Creamsicles are a fav frozen treat for summer days - they remind me of the ice cream truck! I had a craving recently and was searching for a cocktail recipe to recreate the flavors at home...but most of them had cream or involved a blender and I really wasn’t interested in cutting into my pool time. 

I threw together three ingredients I had on hand and hoped for the best...and we have a winner! It tastes just like the real thing. You could probably even consider this a ‘skinny’ cocktail - but really it’s just light & refreshing without being too heavy. It’s the perfect drink to sip poolside in my party people cup. Vitamin C and Vitamin D FTW! 

Ingredients

• 1.5 ounces vanilla vodka

• Squeeze of fresh orange juice (or a splash from a bottle, no judgment) 

• 8-ish ounces seltzer (I used Orange Vanilla flavored to punch up the creamsicle flavor, but plain works too) 

Pour vodka and orange juice over ice, and top with seltzer. Yep, that’s it. Garnish with an orange wedge if you’re feeling extra. Cheers!
