Ingredients
- Whipped Cream Vodka- If you can't find this, you can use vanilla vodka instead.
- Orange Liqueur- Cointreau, Grand Marnier or Tripe Sec- or another orange liqueur of your choice.
- Heavy Cream- We use this because heavy cream won't curdle in alcohol, unlike lighter dairy like half and half and milk. If you would like to keep it dairy-free and vegan, you can use coconut cream instead.
- Chocolate cocoa powder- Use either a sweetened cocoa, or if you use an unsweetened cocoa, add a little powdered sugar to sweeten up the bitterness.
- Gold Edible Glitter- I bought mine at Walmart, but you can also buy the same one HERE on Amazon. ๐
How to make the Orange Ice Cubes
These orange ice cubes add such a beautiful touch to any cocktail, and they are so easy to make.
- Fill a large cube ice cube tray half way with water. I used one like this.
- Next, use a good peeler to peel around a whole orange, similar to how you would peel an apple in one peel.
- Now, start at one end and roll the peel up tightly.
- Hold it in place and set it in one of the ice cube spots. They will unroll a little as you release them into the water, but not to worry! It makes them all a little different and that is what makes it fun!
- Continue until you have as many rose cubes as you would like! Typically you can get 2 roses from one orange peel.
- Sprinkle a light dusting of gold glitter onto each rose.
- Freeze for about 2 hours until frozen.
- Use in any cocktail or mocktail. Enjoy!
How to Make this Creamsicle Martini
Prep the Glasses
On a plate, combine the sweetened cocoa powder and the edible gold glitter. Gently mix them together.
Cut a slice of orange, and run it around the rim of the martini glasses so that the rims are wet.
Now, roll the rims of the glasses in the cocoa powder and glitter so that they are thoroughly coated in chocolate and sparkles. Set them aside while you make the martinis.
Make the Martini
In a martini shaker, add a cup of ice, plus the whipped cream vodka, cointreau and heavy cream. Put the lid on and shake, shake, shake it until the shaker gets frosty!
Place an orange rose ice cube into the martini glass.
Strain the shaker into the 2 martini glasses. Pour the martini along side the rose, so that it isn't covered by the creamy martini.
Serve right away! Well, maybe take a couple of pictures of these little beauties, and then serve and enjoy!
Cheers!

- 1 tablespoon Sweetened Cocoa Powder
- ยฝ teaspoon Edible Gold Glitter
- 2 Orange Cubes
Orange Ice Cubes
- 4 Oranges
Instructions
- Place Cocoa powder and gold glitter on a plate.
- Take a slice of orange, and run it around the rim of the glasses so the rim is wet.

- Serve (take some pictures!) and Enjoy! ๐
Orange Ice Cubes
- Fill a large cube ice cube tray halfway full with water.
- Use a sharp peeler to peel one entire orange in one peel. Go slow, it is just like peeling an entire apple in one peel!
- Cut the peel in half so you have 2 long sections of orange peel.
- Roll them up tightly and place them in the ice cube trays. Continue this until all the spots in the tray are filled.
- Place tray in freezer for 2 hours or until cubes are frozen.
Notes
Notes:
- You can also use Vanilla Vodka instead of Whipped Vodka if you have it. The flavor will be similar.
- You can use unsweetened chocolate powder for the rim, but if you do, add a teaspoon of powdered sugar as well, otherwise the chocolate will be very bitter.ย
- Have fun... Cheers! ๐
