Scale

- 1 cup crushed ice
- 1/4 cup half-and-half (or heavy cream)
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons vanilla syrup
Garnish:
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Orange slices
Instructions
- Chill a tall glass by filling it with crushed ice, ensuring ample space for the whipped cream topping.
- Pour orange soda smoothly over the ice, allowing carbonation to settle and create a vibrant base.
- Introduce vanilla syrup to the soda, gently stirring to infuse the classic creamsicle essence throughout the drink.
- Delicately cascade half-and-half or heavy cream over the mixture, creating a mesmerizing marbled swirl without fully blending.
- Crown the beverage with a luxurious whipped cream spiral, then accent the glass rim with a fresh orange slice for visual appeal.
- Serve immediately with a straw, ensuring maximum effervescence and optimal temperature for a refreshing experience.
Notes
- Crush ice finely for the perfect texture and even cooling, ensuring the soda stays chilled without diluting too quickly.
- Try different orange soda brands to find your preferred flavor intensity, ranging from classic to artisan craft sodas.
- Swap dairy cream with coconut or almond milk for a lighter, dairy-free version that still maintains the creamy, dreamy consistency.
- Create a boozy adult version by adding a splash of orange liqueur or vanilla vodka for a grown-up twist on the classic drink.
