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.

Vodka and orange flavored mixers are quite popular. Another drink with that flavor combination, but a sweeter form is the vodka and orange soda.

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.

Gather everything you need to make the drink including cocktail shaker, Hawthorne strainer, jigger, champagne flute, orange juice, whipped cream vodka, champagne and ice.

Step two

Fill your cocktail shaker to the top with ice.

Step three

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

Step four

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.
