This creamy, dreamy Orange Creamsicle Mocktail recipe is your favorite frozen dessert in drink form!
I haven’t ever had the alcoholic version of a creamsicle, so I invented what I thought would be the equivalent of the frozen creamsicle of my youth but in drink form. After making these, I looked up the recipe for the alcholic version, and found that I was way off from that. If you’re looking for a virgin version of the cocktail, this isn’t it! But if you want the dessert in drink form, you’ve come to the right place!

Should I use a lemon-lime soda or orange soda?
You can make this with either a lemon-lime soda such as Sprite or 7-up, and you’ll get a slightly orange flavor. For a stronger orange flavor, use an orange soda instead. Either way is delicious.
The pictured orange creamsicle mocktails were made with lemon-lime soda, which is why they turned out very light in color. When I’ve made them with orange soda they have a more orange color.
I also used vanilla bean ice cream instead of plain vanilla, simply because I like it! You can use whichever you have on hand, or whichever you prefer!
The ice cream will float to the top, so make sure you have a ladle to scoop the orange creamsicle mocktails into cups, or else you will end up with just ice cream foam in the cups. Not that that would be a bad thing, mind you, but you may want a little of the orange in your creamsicle!

I bet this tastes soooo good! Orange is one of my favorite flavors for fruit, juice, and candy so I really want to try this. I wonder if I can find tangerine juice somewhere.

This sounds so good! I have a friend who doesn’t drink alcohol, so I am always looking for mocktails for her!

Somehow reading the title I thought it would look more orangey (lol) but actually I am loving the look of it as is and I bet it tastes real yummy

This is the first time that I encountered the word ‘creamsicle’ and it’s super cute. I like how this is easy-to-prep and I bet it’s going to be a hit amongst kids.
Stephanie Jeannot says
Awww like a float. That is a nice little drink to make up for a kid. I guess we all drink cream popsicles anyway when they start melting, so why not make a great drink out of it. Cool idea.
