When I think of summertime and my childhood, popsicles, creamsicles and fudgesicles always come to mind. My sister and I loved these when we were growing up. These were our summer childhood staples. My sister and I had a great childhood; when memories come to mind for us it is a really great thing. Well, Sydney and I have created a new adult summertime staple with these Orange Creamsicle Jello Shots!
Wow, the orange gelatin and the whipped topping bring back the creamsicle childhood taste and the whipped vodka is an added adult twist. So yummy and perfect! The combination of great taste and childhood memories make these a huge win for me!
