Today is also National Martini Day and Ellen of Family Around the Table invited us to post a Martini recipe to celebrate.
I decided to combine both events by sharing a creamy, smooth, and delicious Orange Creamsicle Martini. Remember those wonderful push-up concoctions you would get when the ice cream truck came around? Well this is the adult version of that refreshing, tasty treat.
It is a fast and easy recipe and fun to make and share. It is simply equal parts of orange juice, light cream and vanilla vodka, shaken over ice and strained into a glass.
Garnish with an orange peel and toast to the good old days. I served these up as an after dinner drink with friends.
I think it would be fun to make a punch bowl of these and float some orange sherbet in it. This would be perfect for a summer shower or brunch.
