  • ice (optional)
  • 1 ounce vanilla vodka (chilled)
  • 6 ounces orange soda (or to taste, chilled)
  • whipped cream
  • orange sanding sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glass: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes if desired to keep the cocktail chilled and refreshing.
  2. Add Vanilla Vodka: Pour 1 ounce of chilled vanilla vodka into the glass over the ice, creating the flavorful base of the cocktail.
  3. Top with Orange Soda: Slowly pour 6 ounces of chilled orange soda over the ice and vodka, filling the glass to the rim or to your preferred taste level, allowing the soda to mix gently with the vodka.
  4. Garnish: Add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top of the drink, then sprinkle with orange sanding sugar if using, for a sweet and decorative finish.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy this creamy, citrusy cocktail while cold.

Notes

  • Use chilled ingredients to ensure the cocktail stays cold and fizzy longer.
  • Orange sanding sugar adds a festive crunch and color; it’s optional but highly recommended for presentation.
  • Adjust the amount of orange soda to taste for sweeter or stronger cocktails.
  • This cocktail can be made without ice if you prefer a more concentrated flavor or want to avoid dilution.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute vanilla-flavored syrup or vanilla extract for the vodka.
