I tend to have no rules when it comes to mixing cocktails… if I mix something up and it tastes phenomenal, I’m going to share it. Just like these amazingly delicious (and easy!) Creamsicle Margaritas.
This margarita has the flavors of creamy oranges, tequila and lime. I literally thought of this margarita when I woke up in the middle of the night on National Margarita Day. It must have been from seeing all of the awesome photographs of margaritas on Instagram earlier that day!
I looked it up online and most other recipes are frozen versions, but I didn’t see any with whipped vodka (which is what I thought of in the middle of the night!). So I took a chance, mixed it until I got it like I liked it… and that was it. This is my Creamsicle Margarita.
You can make it by the glass or by the pitcher. The ingredients are measured in “parts”, because that’s how I worked with it while measuring ingredients until I got the flavor like I wanted it.
It was SO HARD for me not to drink one of these after photographing (although I HAD to sip to taste it, right?!). I strained them into a pitcher for later tonight… trust me, they’re not going to waste! 🙂
And if you’re hesitant about mixing tequila with vodka, don’t be. Take my word that this tastes… well, you’ll just have to try it to find out for yourself! Cheers!

Karen D. Carey says
Could you use regular vodka instead of Tequila…I have afriend that a reaction to Tequila
Amy says
Hi Karen, This recipe has whipped vodka in it – although I haven’t tried it, you could leave out the tequila and use more vodka. I hope you and your friend enjoy it! 🙂
dingobully says
I found you because I had just a little vodka and tequila at the bottom of the jars and wanted to recycle the bottles today. So I made 2 of these for breakfast and they were great. I only had regular vodka so I added two drops of vanilla extract and that did the trick! 🙂

I squeezed my own orange and lime juice and added a little xtra vodka tequila and triple sec…fabulous
Oh and I made a batch and used it to make ice cubes as to not dilute the drink. Thanks for a crowd pleaser

Amy @ The Blond Cook says
That sounds delicious, thanks so much and I’m so happy everyone enjoyed them! 🙂
Amy Hankins says
Have you tried making these as frozen margaritas. I like to make frozen margaritas and pour into mason jars and keep in the freezer. This is my version of “canning”.
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
Hi Amy, No I haven’t tried these frozen but it sounds delicious! Let us know how it turns out if you try it! 🙂
Vickie Kern says
When you say “whipped vodka” do you mean whipped cream vodka?
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
Hi Vickie – Yes, whipped cream vodka. Hope you enjoy the margaritas! 🙂
Jess says
Did you use clear tequila?
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
Hi Jess, yes I did but either will be fine… hope you enjoy! 🙂
Karla says
Have you tried this blended? If so, was it just as good?
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
Hi Karla, No I haven’t… let me know how they turn out if you try!
Elaine says
This is something absolutely new! I noticed that lots of great thoughts come in the middle of the night lol
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
Yes they do! 🙂 You’ve gotta try it… thanks Elaine!
Ornisha says
How much is a part? I am looking to make a pitcher for bachelorette party.
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
A “part” depends on the size of your pitcher or how much you want to make. For instance, if you use 1 cup as a part, then it would be 1 cup tequila, 1 cup whipped vodka, 1/2 cup triple sec, 5 cups orange juice, and a splash of lime juice. This would yield around 7-1/2 cups.
Lennie says
If you can’t find whipped vodka could you add cream or half and half? Would it curdle?
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
Hey, Lennie! I don’t think that combination would be good, but I’ve never tried it. Let me know if you do. Cheers! 🙂
Angie says
Maybe try Whipping Cream and add your vodka in it. It will then be Whopped Vodka
gavi says
Oh my mercy, this is fabulous. I added a half part sugar free french vanilla creamer as I did not have whipped vodka. You did well The Blond Cook! Thank you.
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
Thanks, Gavi! Cheers!
Claudette says
Where do you buy whipped vodka?
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
Hi Claudette! I used Pinnacle Whipped Vodka and I purchased it at my local ABC store. I hope you enjoy them if you make them! Here is the link to the vodka that I used: Pinnacle Whipped Vodka
tess says

Amy @ The Blond Cook says
Hey, Tess! De nada! The whipped vodka is really good, hope you enjoy these margaritas! 🙂
Terri Tompkins says
Amy, is whipped vodka the same as like a “whipped cream” vodka? Inquiring minds want to know! This sounds really good!
★★★★★
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
Hi Terri, Yes it is! I used Pinnacle Whipped. They are delicious and I hope you enjoy them… CHEERS! 🙂
Vicky Crane says
Never heard of whipped Volka. What is it ?
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
Hi Vicky, it tastes like whipped cream. I used Pinnacle Whipped. Hope you enjoy them if you make them!
Claudette says
Where do you buy it? Need more detail on this item! Would love to make the cocktail.
Michele says
It’s with all the other flavored vodkas. Pinnacle brand has a few different flavors. It’s near the chocolate cake flavor, etc. I add the whipped flavor INTO my whipped cream for an added level of flavor. Throw it in hot chocolate, on ice cream, use it in a trifle…all good!
angel davis powers says
love me some whipped vodka…and the marshmellow vodka also!
Kate says
If you don’t have whipped vodka, add a little Baileys.
