Cocktail Description

Coffee and orange meld perfectly in this indulgent cocktail that tastes like a sophisticated adult version of the classic orange creamsicle—with a caffeinated twist.

The Café Creamsicle Martini combines the rich, roasted notes of Mr Black Coffee Liqueur with bright citrus from both triple sec and freshly squeezed orange juice, all mellowed by a silky cream float that gradually incorporates as you sip. This dessert-like cocktail strikes a delightful balance between bitter coffee, sweet orange, and smooth dairy without becoming cloying. It's relatively simple to make with just a basic shake and strain, though achieving that perfect cream float requires a steady hand and patient pour over the back of a spoon. Perfect for after-dinner entertaining or weekend brunches when you want something special but not overly complicated. Pair it with dark chocolate desserts, almond biscotti, or even savory breakfast pastries—the coffee notes complement rich foods while the citrus cuts through heavier flavors.
