Orange Creamsicle Margarita is a dreamy, creamy cocktail that combines the nostalgic flavor of an orange creamsicle with the citrusy zing of a classic margarita. It’s perfect for summer parties, brunches, or a refreshing twist on your go-to margarita. The flavors in this orange creamsicle margarita definitely take me back to my childhood of when the ice cream truck drove through my neighborhood on hot summer days. This tastes just like the push up orange ice creamsicle.
