Your next drink: Dreamsicle

Dreamsicle

Primary alcohol: Pinnacle Whipped Vodka

Taste: Paradise in a glass. The creamy whipped paired with the grenadine and orange juice reminds me of how close to spring break we are. Like a softer version of a daiquiri, the whipped flavor starts off a little strange, but after a couple sips, the congruence of flavors sets in, and all is right in the world.

Appearance: Peach-colored in appearance, orange consumes the body of the drink but is filled with a light red/pink coloring. Usually garnished with an orange slice.

My experience came from the friendly staff at Summit, who smiled and didn’t even make fun of me ordering this obviously summertime or "female focused" drink.

Advice: Have some water with it, not because it’s too strong, but the sugars might upset your stomach a little. At least after a few, but one or two is just delightful.
