Brueck's Coconut Creamsicle Cocktail

Ingredients & Substitutions Vanilla vodka – If you don't have vanilla vodka, whipped cream vodka will work, or you can add a few drops of vanilla extract to your cocktail shaker to make up for that vanilla flavor. Orange juice – Please only use fresh squeezed citrus for this. The drink would be fine with bottled, but there is something so delicate and perfect about fresh squeezed that can't be beat. Coconut milk – You want the full-fat canned coconut milk, not the thinned out stuff from the fridge section. If you don't have this, you can swap half-and-half or heavy cream. Simple syrup – Store bought or homemade simple syrup will work here. You can also use agave, but it will change the flavor a bit. Making changes to a recipe can result in recipe failure.  Coconut Creamsicle Cocktail This delightful coconut creamsicle cocktail is made with a dreamy blend of vanilla vodka, fresh-squeezed orange juice, and creamy coconut milk. Served over crushed ice and garnished with an...
