Happy Hour Friday – Orange Dreamsicles

Ohh…I loved them things when I was a kid … we would wait for the ice cream truck EVERY STINKIN SATURDAY and beg my parents for the quarter … Pushups and Orange Dreamsicles were my favs …

And even as an adult, if I’m given a choice, yes, I will have the pushup please 🙂 … and LOOK, now I found an adult beverage that taste a LOT like a dreamsicle.

AND …  it uses the WHIPPED vodka (thankfully as I do not want to drink it straight!) and I had a little bit left still in a bottle from a previous night of stupidity … so grab that blue bottle of yumminess and get crackin!

2 oz whipped vodka (Pinnacle is what I have but I thought I saw another brand putting it out now)
2 oz orange juice (um, personally, I HATE pulp and would strongly discourage it in a cocktail)
2 oz lemon lime soda (I used sierra mist as that’s what I had on hand)
splash of grenadine

Umm….easy. Add ice to a large shaker or glass. Pour in the ingredients. Stir or shake (I personally am a shaker so I shake)

Strain into tall glass with ice. Garnish with slice of orange and cherry (all I had were mini oranges).

I also poured mine into a large mouth wine glass as it’s easier for me to hold (the tall glass got a little frosty and about slipped out of my hand!!)

Sip, say yummm and give a toast!

Remember, I encourage you to always drink responsibly and PLEASE do not drink and drive!
