Cocktail Base

2 oz vanilla vodka

1/2 oz orange liqueur (e.g., triple sec or Cointreau)

1 oz milk or half-and-half

1 oz fresh orange juice

1/2 oz Orangecello (orange-flavored liqueur or orange-infused limoncello)

1/4 oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)

Creaminess & Texture (optional)

1/4 oz heavy cream (for extra richness; substitute by increasing half-and-half)

1 tsp Watkins vanilla extract

Garnish & Finish

1 piece orange zest or thin orange wheel

1/8 tsp grated nutmeg or orange sugar (optional)

1 cup ice

Method

Prep

Chill a coupe or rocks glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes, or fill it with ice water while you mix the cocktail.

If using, prepare orange sugar by rubbing a little orange zest with 1–2 tsp granulated sugar; set aside for rimming.

Mixing the Cocktail

Combine Ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz vanilla vodka, 0.5 oz orange liqueur, 0.5 oz Orangecello, 1 oz fresh orange juice, 1 oz milk or half-and-half, 0.25 oz simple syrup, 0.25 oz heavy cream (if using) and 1 tsp vanilla extract.

Ice and Shake

Add a generous handful of ice (about 4–6 large cubes) to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–18 seconds until the shaker is very cold and the mixture is well aerated and slightly frothy.

Prepare Glass

If rimming, discard ice water from the chilled glass, moisten the rim with an orange wedge, then dip the rim into the prepared orange sugar or plain sugar.

Strain

Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or rocks glass over fresh ice (if serving on the rocks) or neat for a chilled, smooth presentation.

Finish & Garnish

Express an orange peel over the drink to release oils, rub the peel on the glass rim if desired, then drop the peel or a thin orange wheel onto the drink.

Lightly grate a pinch (about 1/8 tsp) of nutmeg over the top or sprinkle a tiny dusting of orange sugar for extra aroma.

Serve immediately.
