Ingredients
Mocktail Ingredients
- 3/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
- 3 orange slices
- 1-2 scoops vanilla bean ice cream
- Ice (2-3 ice cubes or crushed ice)
- 1 can cream soda
- Optional: Whipped cream
Instructions
- Prepare the glass: Add fresh squeezed orange juice, vanilla bean ice cream, and ice to your serving glass. Add 2 orange slices into the glass along with 2-3 additional ice cubes or crushed ice to chill the drink thoroughly.
- Add soda: Pour cream soda on top of the mixture until the glass is full. This will create a fizzy, creamy layer that complements the orange flavor.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish the rim of the glass with an orange slice. Optionally, top with whipped cream for extra creaminess. Before drinking, stir the mocktail to blend the creamy vanilla with the fresh citrus and fizzy cream soda flavors.
Notes
- For best results, use freshly squeezed orange juice to maintain bright citrus flavor.
- Adjust the amount of ice cream to your preference for creaminess and sweetness.
- Use crushed ice if you prefer a slushier texture.
- Whipped cream is optional but adds richness and a decorative touch.
- This mocktail is best consumed immediately after preparation to enjoy the fizzy texture.
