The Creamsicle is a cocktail made with vodka, cream, orange liquor, milk and simple syrup.[1] It is a sweet, creamy cocktail that can be served as a shot or a float made with orange soda and ice cream.[2] Modern variations of the cocktail may replace the milk with orange juice, and use a vanilla vodka or other dessert flavored vodka like whipped cream vodka. If orange juice is used, the cocktail is shaken.[3]
The Savoy Cocktail Book contains a recipe for a similar cocktail called a "Buds special", but omits the vodka. The three ingredient cocktail is made simply with Angostura bitters, sweet cream and Cointreau. This creamy cocktail is stirred, not shaken.[4]
