Apparently I’m a big fan of tarnishing childhood treats, because it’s my favorite way to create new cocktails – take a familiar flavor and bring it to life with a little splash of happy. I’ve done it before with my Kahlua Coke Float, and this time I’m doing it again with a Creamsicle Cocktail. If you love the flavor of orange and cream all at once, this cocktail is for you. It’s sort of a spin on a screwdriver, but way more delicious.
Creating this cocktail is super easy:
Ingredients:
- 3 oz. orange juice
- 1.5 oz. marshmallow vodka (I like Smirnoff)
Directions:
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then pour in the juice and vodka. Shake for 10-15 seconds (until well chilled.) Pour into a glass half filled with crushed ice (because it’s best when kept really cold.)
Garnish with an orange and that’s it.
See – super, duper easy! It would be perfect for making by the pitcher at parties or serving for brunch. It seriously is like drinking the beloved popsicle treat…. yet all grown up.

OK, you’ve convinced me, I need to get some Marshmallow Vodka! Thanks for sharing, can’t wait to try it!
I guess I live too far out in the sticks to find Marshmallow Vodka. I have bought Whipped, though, and it is like CoolWhip flavor. You think that would work?
I couldn’t find marshmallow vodka at my neighborhood liquor store, so I bought whipped cream flavored vodka instead. This still came out fantastic. It’s like a grown-up version of an orange creamsicle except you can drink it and it gives you (at least it did me) a pleasant buzz. The guys at the liquor store smirked when I asked for marshmallow vodka. I knew what they were thinking. I told them that I like girly, fruity, frou frou drinks and I was proud of it.
