Ingredients

  • Ice (optional)
  • 1 ounce vanilla vodka (chilled)
  • 6 ounces orange soda (or to taste, chilled)
  • Whipped cream (for garnish)
  • Orange sanding sugar (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glass: Fill a tall glass with ice if desired to chill the cocktail and keep it cool during serving.
  2. Add Vanilla Vodka: Pour 1 ounce of chilled vanilla vodka over the ice in the glass, providing the creamy vanilla base for the cocktail.
  3. Pour Orange Soda: Slowly pour 6 ounces of chilled orange soda over the ice and vanilla vodka, filling the glass to the rim or to your preferred taste level, allowing the soda to mix gently with the vodka.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Top the cocktail with a generous swirl of whipped cream and optionally sprinkle some orange sanding sugar on top for a festive, colorful garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • The amount of orange soda can be adjusted according to your taste preference for sweetness or strength.
  • If you prefer a colder drink, use plenty of ice or pre-chill all ingredients before mixing.
  • Orange sanding sugar adds a delightful crunch and aesthetic appeal but can be skipped if unavailable.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute vanilla vodka with vanilla-flavored syrup or extract.
