Have you tried this grown up version of the food court fave?
ORANGE JULIUS VODKA MARTINI
Creamy, citrusy, and very close to an adult Orange Julius.
Ingredients — 1 cocktail
* 2 oz vanilla vodka
* 1 oz orange liqueur, such as Cointreau or triple sec
* 2 oz fresh orange juice
* 1 oz half-and-half or heavy cream
* ½ oz simple syrup
* ¼ tsp vanilla extract
* Ice
* Optional: orange slice or twist for garnish
Directions
1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
2. Add vodka, orange liqueur, orange juice, cream, simple syrup, and vanilla.
3. Shake vigorously for about 15–20 seconds until very cold and frothy.
4. Strain into a chilled martini glass.
5. Garnish with an orange twist or slice.
For an even more Orange Julius flavor: add a tiny pinch of powdered sugar and use vanilla vodka rather than plain vodka. For a lighter drink, swap the cream for whole milk.
