Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz Vanilla vodka
- 1 oz Orange liqueur (e.g., Triple Sec or Cointreau)
- 2 oz Orange juice
- 1 oz Half-and-half (or heavy cream)
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 piece Orange wheel or twist (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tbsp Sugar (optional, for rimming the glass)
Instructions
Begin by preparing your martini glass: if you’d like a sugar-rimmed glass, pour sugar onto a small plate. Moisten the rim of the glass with a citrus wedge or water, then dip the rim into the sugar to coat evenly. Set aside.
In a cocktail shaker, add the vanilla vodka, orange liqueur, orange juice, half-and-half, and ice cubes.
Secure the lid tightly on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and creamy.
Strain the cocktail into the prepared martini glass.
If desired, garnish with an orange wheel or twist for a decorative touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, citrusy flavors of your Creamsicle Martini!
