The Fresh Creamsicle
Friday, January 29, 2010 at 12:00AM Not sure if you've noticed, but oranges are falling from the sky. Oh, you haven't noticed? That's probably because you're unconscious from one clobbering your head.
So yeah, oranges are in season. Trees are pooping citrus fruit quicker than a white guy hitting the bathroom after eating spicy curry.
Too much?
And with no segue, one thing I'll never get sick of is a creamsicle. Are you feeling me on this?
Here's my recipe for a Fresh Creamsicle Cocktail:
Ingredients:
-1 1/2 oz vanilla vodka (I realize I've been using a lot of vanilla vodka lately...I have no excuse. I likey.)
-1 oz fresh squeezed OJ
-splash of cream
-1/2 oz simple syrup
Pretty simple schtuff. Just add all the ingredients to a pint glass packed with ice and then shake and strain into a martini glass. OR, strain the cocktail into another glass filled with ice if you prefer your cocktails on the rocks. Garnish with an orange wedge and you got yourself a grown-up creamsicle. Zummy!

Vitamin C, dairy and vegetables (isn't vodka made from potatoes?)! This could definitely pass as a healthy drink! Ha, suckas!
I LOVE any drink with Vodka.... And girl, I need the Vodka right now...Of course it is only 6 am....

I think you need to publish a cocktail recipe book!! I'm serious!!! I can't keep track of all these amazing recipes!!
mmm . . . i can't wait to try this. this sounds like an instant replacement to my liquor 43 with cream and oj! i use vanilla vodka in almost everything. including but not limited to pouring it over my cereal.
Caroline: omg I would looove that!!
