Boozy Orange Julius

This cocktail will have you hooked because it is so good and simple to make! Just like the classic Orange Julius recipe you would get at the mall back in the day, but in cocktail form for adults. So delicious with a taste of citrusy orange flavor and a creamy texture of a Orange Julius smoothie. This is a adult homemade Orange Julius treat that will cool you off during the summer while also get you up and having fun!

Key Ingredients You’ll Need

Orange: You will need orange vodka, orange syrup, and orange juice to give a strong citrus flavor.
White Cream: You will combine whipped cream vodka, vanilla syrup, and vanilla creamer for a sweet and creamy layer.

How To Make Orange Julius Cocktail

Prepare the orange layer. Add the ingredients (including ice cubes) into the blender and combine on high until smooth. Add into a small pitcher and place it aside.
Make the whipped vanilla layer. Add all the ingredients into the blender and combine on high until smooth. Pour into a pitcher and set aside.
Assemble the drink. Add 4 layers into the cocktail glass using a large cookie or ice cream scoop. Add one layer of the orange mixture into the glass, then top with the whipped vanilla mixture. Continue with another scoop of the orange mixture, then top with the whipped mixture. Repeat until the glass is full. Gently tap the glass on the counter to let the layers settle. Add a tall straw and mix. Garnish with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

How To Decorate an Orange Julius Cocktail?

I like to garnish this tasty drink with some fresh orange slices or other citrus fruit and mint. I sometimes add a big dollop of my homemade whipped cream! If you want a more dessert like beverage, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tips & Tricks

Chill the cocktail glass in the freezer to keep your drink cool for longer.
Feel free to add more or less flavor depending on how you like it.
It is very easy to double or triple the amount depending on how many people you plan on serving it too.
To make this dairy free, add almond vanilla creamer instead.
