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.

Occasions for this drink

With its sweet, fruity and bubbly flavor this drink is perfect for many different occasions such as:

  • Weddings
  • Bachelor and bachelorette parties
  • New Year’s Eve
  • Large celebrations

Variations of this drink

This drink is not a standard IBA drink and therefore can have different ingredient variations in different recipes. Here are a few ways to change this drink up:

  • Add cream. To lend a extra sweet and creamy flavor, you can add a little splash of cream to the drink.
  • Use orange vodka. Replace the whipped cream vodka with orange vodka instead. Do make sure if you do this to use an extra splash of cream to help it maintain the creamy flavor.
  • Add a garnish. Take the sweet decadence of this drink over the top by adding a big dollop of whipped cream on top of the drink.
  • Make it for parties. With its refreshing bubbles and champagne flute glass this drink is perfect for large celebrations. You can make a large batch of it in a punch bowl by multiplying the ingredients by 4 to 6 times.

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.

Then, remove the top from the shaker, place the Hawthorne strainer on it and pour your drink into your champagne flute.
