How to Make a Creamsicle Cocktail

A slice of orange makes a sweet garnish for your Creamsicle cocktail.

Just like the frozen treat of the same name, the Creamsicle cocktail mixes the flavors of vanilla and orange for a sweet treat. The Creamsicle cocktail is best served cold but not on ice, so you only need a cocktail shaker to make it -- no blender required. Serve garnished with an orange slice or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt for a little added indulgence.
