Notes

Cointreau is 80 proof — keep at 1 tbsp. The creamsicle identity comes from balancing orange and vanilla equally. This is not the same flavor profile as Grand Marnier Orange Cream; it’s sweeter, more nostalgic, deliberately reminiscent of the childhood ice cream bar. Orange zest goes directly into the base.
