Welcome back to Booze On The Rocks where we make cocktails for everyone.
My name's David Edwards, and it's great to have every single one of you back
this cocktail today is going to take us back to our youth a time when we were
children going to the corner store and trying to get our hands on a creamsicle.
That's right.
Especially the orange ones.
I used to really, really love them.
And I know a lot of my friends did.
In fact, they liked it so much.
One of them actually recently asked me to make this cocktail.
But he didn't tell me what was in it.
So while stumbling through a book called the Home Bartender by Shane Karly, I
found a copy of this recipe and I'm like, oh, that looks really good.
And then I looked at it and I made some modifications to it and you know what?
This is going to be really, really good.
All right.
Before we get started, let's talk about our ingredients because the
first thing we need is orange juice.
Now I suggest squeezing your citrus fruit fresh whenever.
However, if you can't do that and you're at the store, grab whatever juice is
most suited to you that you really enjoy.
But I do suggest getting one that does not have any additives.
So you'll keep the honest to goodness tastes of your juice.
The next thing we're going to use is vodka.
In this case, I'm using Russian standard vodka.
It's a standard 40%.
ABV your next drink is triple sec.
Now this is an orange will cure.
It's 35% ABV.
And it will actually give you a little bit of added sweetness now to
get our creaminess, we're going to use a little bit of half and half.
Now.
You could choose to use a full fat within cream, totally up
to you and what you prefer.
So let's get into it now in Shane's recipe, he actually calls to stir this
drink, however, because of the ingredients involved, I'm going to shake it.
So we're going to grab our shaking glass.
And the first thing we'll use is our vodka.
Now for this, we're going to.
Two ounces or 60 milliliters
and we're going to use, is there a triple sec now in his recipe, he
calls for a splash of triple sec, and I really, really hate it whenever I
see the words, a splash or a dash of unless whatever ingredient you have,
has to do with dashers or something like that, that actually has a lit
except a splash is technically happened.
Or 15 milliliters.
Now the good thing about that is that splash of triple sec will give us not only
a little bit of added orange flavor, but it also gives us some added sweetness.
The next thing we're going to do is grab our orange.
And for this, we're going to use two ounces or 60 milliliters.
Now these are.
Pretty small oranges, but you want to make sure when you're doing this, that
you also cut enough for your garnish.
This is going to be really, really good.
I can just tell.
So now we're not done with this.
However, we have our little garnish here.
Your next thing is going to be your cream of choice.
I'm using half and half as I said earlier, but in a lot of cases you
could use a heavy whipping cream.
Because it'll give you a higher fat content.
It'll give you more of a silky creamier consistency, and we're going to use
an ounce and a half or 45 milliliters.
Throw some ice in the glass.
And we're going to shake this heart.
What's that smile.
And you want to shake it really hard because you want everything
to combine really, really well.
All right.
Now, what this will do is give you a nice creamy, smooth consistency.
Grab your glass of choice in this case.
I'm going to use a rocks glass.
Nice, classic, simple, choose, whatever you want.
Even a Mason jar would be totally awesome with the cocktail
exists, grab a little bit ice.
So, and now what we're going to do is just use our Hawthorne strainer just
to keep it the big chunks of ice.
Cool.
Well, look at that.
Grab your orange, cut it in half.
Give it a little bit of a notch.
And here we go.
An orange creamsicle.
Absolutely gorgeous, simple, easy.
Let's smell it really, really good.
You immediately get those hints of orange and not just from
the slice you have right there.
That's good.
You get that orange, you get that vodka little bit of a cake.
Oh, really good.
It's smooth.
It's not overly creamy.
You could, even, if you wanted blend this up with a little bit of vanilla ice
cream, or maybe even an orange sorbet to give yourself a thicker milkshake,
consistency, totally up to you.
In fact, tell me exactly what you would do down in the comments down below.
And I will leave the ingredients to this down in the description
for you, and then play around with that and tell us what she said.
Oh, very good.

Wow.
I'm going to shake it because based on the ingredients I have
together, I really, really want them to combine really, really well.
And that sounds stupid.
