Chill Your Glass: Start by filling a cocktail glass with ice to chill it while you mix your drink.

Mix the Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, triple sec, fresh orange juice, heavy cream, and vanilla simple syrup. Add ice cubes to the shaker as well.

Shake It Up: Secure the lid on the shaker and give it a good shake for about 15-20 seconds. You want everything to be well-mixed and chilled.

Strain and Serve: Dump the ice out of your chilled cocktail glass, then strain the mixture from your shaker into the glass.

Garnish: If you’re feeling fancy, garnish with a slice of orange on the rim and a dollop of whipped cream to bring out that “creamsicle” look and feel.
