I should’ve realized much earlier; the recipe called for vodka. Not just plain vodka, but flavoured vodka. Not just flavoured vodka, but TWO flavoured vodkas. Not just any two flavoured vodkas, two flavoured GREY GOOSE brand vodkas. It’s kind of like the adage about the dog you kick but still keeps coming back; but the cocktail recipe you know is wrong in every way possible, but you still tried making it.

I blame it on my qualifiers, which has affected my palate till I’m practically pregnant. Case in point; I really really wanted a creamsicle. I never want a creamsicle! And I wasn’t going to go to the store to buy a bag of creamsicles of which I’d eat a quarter and then throw away the rest of the box.

Thus, this Vanilla Creamsicle cocktail appears to be the perfect answer.

Vanilla Creamsicle
Ingredients:
- 1 oz Grey Goose La Vanille (substituted with UV vanilla vodka)
- 1 oz Grey Goose L’Orange (substituted with Svedka clementine vodka)
- 3 oz Orange juice
- 1/4 oz triple sec
- fresh cream
Garnish: orange peel

The promise

What can I say, I’m a sucker for things served in parfait cups. *sigh*.
However, when I tried to make the concoction myself, it looked alot more like baby formula from China pre-FDA-chief-execution, than anything non-toxic.

The truth

It tasted pretty foul too — had to dump it out after the tiniest sip.
I think I’m going to stick with White Russians to get my creamy cocktail fix from now on.
