Ingredients
-
2 oz whipped cream vodka
-
2 oz orange juice (freshly squeezed or pulp-free)
-
1 oz heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version)
-
½ oz blue curaçao
-
Crushed ice or ice cubes
-
Orange wedge or twist, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
-
Chill your hurricane or highball glass in the freezer or by filling it with ice water.
-
In a cocktail shaker, combine the whipped cream vodka, orange juice, and heavy cream. Add ice and shake vigorously until well chilled and frothy.
-
Discard the ice water from your serving glass if used and fill it with fresh crushed or cubed ice.
-
Strain the creamy orange mixture into the glass.
-
Slowly drizzle the blue curaçao down the inside of the glass. It’ll create dreamy blue streaks as it cascades through the drink.
-
Garnish with an orange wedge or a twist of orange peel, and serve immediately.
Notes
-
Want a dairy-free version? Coconut cream or oat milk creamer works beautifully.
-
No whipped cream vodka? Try vanilla vodka with a splash of simple syrup.
-
For a mocktail, use whipped cream-flavored soda and blue raspberry syrup instead of the alcohol.
-
Shake well! That creamy froth is the secret to making this cocktail taste like dessert in a glass.
-
Serve it fresh—citrus and cream can separate if left to sit too long.
