What is an Orange Creamsicle Mimosa?

An orange creamsicle Mimosa is a combination of whipped cream vodka, champagne and orange juice. The resulting bubbly cocktail tastes just like your favorite creamsicle popsicle from childhood.

Orange juice, of course has a sweet and slightly tangy citrus flavor. It’s best to use fresh pulp free orange juice. Orange juice with pulp will take away from the smooth bubbly texture of the drink. Additionally, the fresher the juice the better try to avoid concentrates or any type of orange juice cocktail when possible.

Whipped cream vodka is a clear liquor. While playing vodka tends to have a almost tasteless flavor, whipped cream vodka has hints of cream and vanilla. It contributes the creamy sweet flavor to the drink.

Champagne is basically a sparkling wine. It can have various different fruit flavors but is always bubbly, typically sweet and a little dry.

If you want to go alcohol free, try out this mimosa without alcohol instead.

Take your champagne and jigger. Use your jigger to measure 2 oz of champagne and toss it into your cocktail shaker with the whipped cream vodka.

Step Five

Place the top on your cocktail shaker and gently shake it. While you want to mix the two ingredients together you also don’t want to cause a champagne to fizz and bubble up.
