Vodka Wednesday: Orange Dreamsicle

Well it's here again, my new favorite day of the week!! This recipe is seriously amazing! I mean like off the chain, mind blowing, I won't drink another mixed drink for at least the next 3 days kinda of good. And let me make it very clear, until recently I rarely drank liquor. It just wasn't my thing. I preferred beer or wine. But after a girls weekend in Florida (where I discovered this drink) and dating for a couple months now I realized a lot of people are really into liquor so I decided to venture into it a little more. So while in Florida we stayed right across the street from Universal Studios and if you've never been there they have a "downtown" area with restaurants and lots of night life. Well we got these drinks the first night there called Orange Dreamsicles and I was hooked.

I mixed this is a pint glass and started with 3 ice cubes

2 shots of Whipped Vodka (yes it's been a rough few days)
2 shots of Orange Juice
Fill the rest of the glass with Sprite
Mix it up and voila!

WARNING: This drink goes down very very easy so be careful. It is so so good and doesn't taste alcoholic at all. So go out and get this stuff, and make this immediately. You won't regret it.

Vodka Wednesday!

So in case you missed it last Wednesday was "National Boyfriend Day." As if Valentine's Day didn't make single people feel bad enough, we have to have another day to celebrate relationships (that really if you are in one you should be celebrating everyday). Being single is something I am used too. Even though I have been in a couple long serious relationships I have taken a long time off in between all my relationships. But still stupid holidays like this annoy me.
So here's the original Facebook post (you will probably only be able to see it if you are my "official Facebook friend"). But the short of it is I invented Vodka Wednesday and had a lot of participation from others. So it gave me an idea to post a different Vodka recipe every Wednesday in my blog. (and when I say every Wednesday I mean sometimes most Wednesdays).
Before I get into this week's drink, I want to give a shout out to Amy Yznaga, a talented young lady who hooked me up with the awesome logo!!

So for my first drink I'm calling it a Whipped Cola!

3 Ice Cubes in a tumbler
1 shot Whipped Cream Vodka (my new obsession ever since a trip to FL)
Fill the rest of the glass with Diet Pepsi
1 (or 2) dollops of Whipped Cream

I had some heavy whipping cream in the fridge that was going to go bad, so I whipped it up, added some confectioners sugar and scooped a little on top of the glass.


So this was delish! It tasted like a cola float but didn't have a scoop of ice cream, so it must be a little better for me right? What are you waiting for? Go make one!
