If you loved creamsicles as a child, (and still do!), this delicious cocktail recipe is perfect for you. This orange cream martini is an adult version of the flavored frozen treats you enjoyed as a kid.

What is a dessert cocktail?

When you combine spirits with sweet ingredients that can double up as a dessert, you have a dessert cocktail. These boozy, sweet drinks require a straw and glass instead of a fork and plate and are an adults-only indulgence.

While many bartenders might cringe at the idea of making a “dessert cocktail,” there is no doubt that consumers love these sweet alcoholic drinks that can double up as desserts.

The concept of dessert cocktails is not a recent idea. As far back as the late 1800s, there is evidence of this type of drink. In 1892, William Schmidt talked about adding fruits and ice cream to a Columbus Punch.

One of the earliest references to a stinger (white creme de menthe and brandy) was found in a book “The Ideal Bartender” by Tom Bullock in 1917.

One cocktail that is often thought of when the term dessert cocktail comes to mind is the Bailey’s Irish Cream Mudslide.

Making an orange cream martini.

The recipe is rich and creamy with a lovely taste of orange. Topped with whip cream, it makes it a choice: Is this a drink, or is this a dessert? (or maybe both!)

To make this orange cream martini, you’ll need the following ingredients:

whipping cream
Pinnacle whipped vodka
orange-flavored liqueur
frozen orange-juice concentrate
orange twist to garnish.

You will also need a measuring jigger and cocktail shaker.

It is so easy to make and perfect for those times when you feel like being a grown up kid. All you need to do is fill up a cocktail shaker with ice.

Then add your cream, vodka, orange liqueur and orange juice concentrate and shake vigorously.

Strain into a martini glass and top with an orange twist and some whip cream. Bon appetit!
