Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 25 fl oz Everclear (190 proof) or high-proof grain alcohol Use 190-proof for stronger moonshine; substitute vodka if desired
  • 4 cups Fresh orange juice Preferably freshly squeezed for best flavor
  • 1 cups Sweetened condensed milk Adds sweetness and creaminess
  • 2 cups Heavy cream For the creamy texture; you can use half-and-half for a lighter result
  • 2 tbsp Vanilla extract Enhances the creamsicle flavor
  • 1 tbsp Orange zest Finely grated for extra citrus aroma
  • 0.5 cups Granulated sugar Adjust to taste; dissolves best when mixed thoroughly
  • 8 fl oz Cold water Used to dilute slightly and help dissolve sugar

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Zest one or two oranges, then juice enough oranges to measure 4 cups of fresh orange juice. Strain to remove pulp if desired.
  • In a large pitcher or food-safe jar, combine the granulated sugar with the cold water and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Add the fresh orange juice, sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract and orange zest to the sugar mixture. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  • Slowly pour in the Everclear (or chosen alcohol) while stirring to incorporate. Taste and adjust sweetness or vanilla as needed.
  • Transfer the mixture to sealable bottles or jars. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and the mixture to chill thoroughly.
  • Before serving, gently shake or stir the bottles. Serve chilled in small glasses (about 2 fl oz per serving) over ice or neat. Store refrigerated and consume responsibly within 2 weeks.

Notes

For a lower-proof version, substitute Everclear with high-proof vodka or reduce the alcohol by half and add a little more orange juice. Shake well before serving as cream can separate. Keep refrigerated.
