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.
