Whipped cream vodka, orange juice and a splash of cream served over crushed ice in a powdered sugar-rimmed glass.
My buddy, Catlin and I spent a weekend at the beach a few months ago. I, being a beer drinker to the core, brought a case of lager and she, being the girly-girl cocktail sort, brought a bottle of whipped cream vodka and some OJ.
I dutifully rolled my eyes when she popped them in the refrigerator.
Sometime the next evening I went to the fridge for a beer and spied the orange juice. And was broad-sided by a sudden craving for it (which is odd because I don't even really like OJ). So, I grabbed the jug and got a glass. And then I thought, meh... why not?? and grabbed the whipped cream vodka.
Even while I was mixing my drink I was utterly convinced I would take one sip and turn my nose up.
Whatevs. It was good!
I'd told Mom how impressed with it I was and, lo and behold, guess who had a bottle of it when I went over for Mother's Day today?! And this is what we made! It tastes JUST LIKE an orange creamsicle!

How to cook Creamsicle Crush
- Add vodka, orange juice, milk, powdered sugar and crushed ice to a cocktail shaker. Cover shaker tightly and shake vigorously (this froths the drink up). Pour into prepared glass and serve. Feel free to mix this to taste (more sugar, less vodka... whatever tastes good to you!).
- To rim the glass, pour about an 1/8 of an inch of vodka or orange juice into a small saucer. Add about 1/2 cup powdered sugar to a another saucer. Turn a tall glass upside down into the vodka to coat the rim then dip the glass into the sugar, rolling it around a bit until the rim is thoroughly coated.

Oh Good Lord. You are going to make me try a girlie drink. Beer or whiskey is normal. But, you have yet to lead me wrong on anything, so I will search for the vodka here in hicksville, and then give this concoction a try!
ReplyDeleteJust found the sweet drink for my daughters wedding brunch!!
ReplyDeleteI've discovered that dipping the rim in a little Karo syrup works great for sugar-rimmed glasses!
ReplyDeletethis sounds seriously yummy!! Going to have to make the hubby stop and pick up the vodka and OJ. ;)
ReplyDeleteI needed something to do with my Whipped Cream Vodka. It's all dressed up with nowhere to go. Not a sweet drink fan, but what the hey??
ReplyDeleteYou can add Whipped Cream Vodka to rootbeer or any soda to make a "float" affect - delish!
ReplyDeleteOMG you are a genius!!
Deletehave the oj, now I need to run to the liquor store for the whipped cream vodka! Oh my heavens is this gonna be good!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds good the only problem woukd be getting my husband to drink it because of the milk any suggestions for something other than milk?
ReplyDeleteThanks
Linda
Ummm.... a little vanilla yogurt?? I have no idea!
DeleteJust skip the milk. This vodka is awesome in orange juice all on it's own.
DeleteFrench Vanilla coffee creamer. See my mixture below. The manliest of men drink it!!! Privately, but they drink it!)
Deletebaileys
DeleteYou should make a non-alchol version. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat would be called a Vitgin Creansicle Crush
Deletethat would be oj and milk
DeleteHeck, I just mix whipped cream vodka with Orange Crush. But I'm a throw-it-together-and-drink-it kind of girl...lol
ReplyDeleteOh my this sounds yummy. I've never tried whipped cream vodka.
ReplyDeleteOh my, you have to try this blended! So nummy!
ReplyDelete~patti
This is my fav...
ReplyDeleteEqual parts OJ and Pinnacle Vanilla/Whipped Cream flavored Vodka (really any vanilla vodka but this is particularly vanilla-ish)
Add a good pour of French Vanilla Creamer (any liquid coffee creamer - Walmart generic brand is pretty good)
OR
Any Orange Soda with equal parts Pinnacle Vanilla/Whipped Cream Vodka (Pinnacle is the best combo with soda only)
Crushed Ice
Hi, never seen that vodka here, and not really sure flavoured vodka is in my future, but I've had a semi relative who was making dill pickle vodka ceasars, must have been good she had quite a hangover.
ReplyDeleteUse vanilla ice cream instead of the cream
