Dreamy Creamsicle Cocktails

I loved creamsicles as a kid...they were absolutely my favorite. Mix up a batch of these and bring your inner child out or make a non-alcoholic pitcher for the whole family.

This is the Adult version (with alcohol):

Fill a mixing cup 1/2 up with ice

• 1/2 oz. Vodka or Orange Vodka
• 1/2 oz. Triple Sec
• 1 oz. Orange Juice
• 1 oz. Cream

Shake all ingredients well and pour into a highball glass. Use a scoop of vanilla ice cream instead of cream & ice, and you've a dreamy creamsicle. De-lic-ious!

This is non-alcoholic version (Dreamy Tropical Cream Fizz):

• 1/4 cup shredded coconut
• 2 cups tropical juice blend
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 12 to 14 ice cubes
• 1 pint coconut ice cream, coconut sorbet or vanilla ice cream

In a blender, place coconut. Cover; process until coconut is in small pieces. Place coconut in shallow dish. Dip rims of six 12-oz stemmed glasses into water, then dip into coconut to coat. Chill glasses in freezer at least 1 hour before serving.

In blender, place tropical juice blend, sugar, lime juice and ice cubes. Cover; blend on high speed about 45 seconds or until smooth. Pour mixture into glasses.

Pour 1/4 cup club soda into juice mixture in each glass. Add 1 large scoop ice cream to each glass. Garnish with remaining coconut if desired.
