Assembling Your Orange Creamsicle Cocktail

Once you’ve blended the cocktail base, be sure to serve in a chilled glass. Pouring over plenty of ice keeps the drink frosty, especially on hot days. For a whimsical touch, garnish with an orange wheel or a maraschino cherry.

For effortless clean-up and prep, depend on essentials like the Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll, 45 Square Feet to protect your counters from accidental splashes when prepping garnishes or measuring ingredients.
