Ingredient Notes
Creamsicle Cocktail/Mocktail
- coconut water
- coconut milk: I used a can of unsweetened coconut milk. You can substitute heavy cream if desired. Don’t skip this— it’s what makes this creamy drink so perfect!
- fresh orange juice
- maple syrup or simple syrup
- lime juice
- non-alcoholic tequila or regular blanco tequila: You can also substitute unflavored vodka or vanilla vodka/whipped cream vodka if you like a sweet cocktail. For zero-proof substitutes, I like the Ritual brand.
Toasted Coconut Rim
- toasted coconut
- lime and orange zest
- honey or agave syrup
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Rim: Mix together toasted coconut and the zest of 1/2 lemon and lime on a plate. Add honey to the side of the glass and roll in the toasted coconut mixture.
- Margarita: Add creamsicle drink ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice cubes and shake for 30 seconds. Strain over a glass of ice! Garnish with a dried orange slice and top with a little whipped cream if desired.
Mac’s Pro TipS
Expert Tips & Variations
- To make an orange creamsicle cocktail recipe instead of a mocktail, simply use your favorite blanco tequila or vodka. Even rum would work if that’s your preferred liquor. You can also add in a bit of triple sec, grand marnier, or Cointreau for added orange flavor.
- This creamsicle drink is dairy-free. However, you can use regular milk or cream if desired.
- To make this drink vegan, use agave syrup instead of honey. All other ingredients remain the same.
- For a blended version of this delicious cocktail, dump all the ingredients into your blender with ice and blend for 1 minute. Then pour into your rimmed glass and enjoy!
- I recommend making this drink as you plan to serve it, but if you do make extra, store it covered in the fridge, without ice. Once ready to serve, pour into a tall glass of ice.
