Orange Creamsicle Cocktail
I’m not sure when it was the last time I was at an ol’ fashioned shopping mall — but there is so much nostalgia associated with one. Take Orange Julius for example. Orange Julius, meet your boozy counterpart.
Ingredients:
½ oz vanilla syrup
1½ oz freshly squeezed orange juice
1½ oz vodka
1 egg white
garnish: dehydrated orange slice
Directions:
Combine vanilla syrup, orange juice, and vodka into a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake vigorously for approximately thirty seconds, until chilled and a frothy head forms. Remove ice, add egg white, and shake again. Double strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with a dehydrated orange slice.
VANILLA SYRUP
Ingredients:
½ cup cane sugar
½ cup water
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
Combine sugar, water, and vanilla extract into a medium sauce pan and bring to a simmer. Once sugar is dissolved, remove from heat. Once cooled, transfer syrup into an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for about three weeks.
