The Orange Dream made with fresh fruit juice, rum and coconut is a delicious tropical vacation inspired orange creamsicle cocktail recipe.
Orange creamsicle cocktail
Like an orange creamsicle or dreamsicle this orange cocktail is super creamy with a nice bright orange flavor. But unlike most orange creamsicle cocktail recipes this orange cocktail is made with coconut milk and coconut rum instead of dairy like ice cream and whipping cream.
There’s also a bit of pineapple juice and white rum which gives it a bit of rum punch or mai tai vibes.
Hence the name the Orange Dream! It’s the perfect creamsicle cocktail to whip up at home while dreaming of tropical vacations with fresh squeezed orange juice mornings and rum punch filled afternoons.

How to garnish
This creamy orange martini recipe is delicious and beautiful served plain in a coupe glass or martini glass. But you can also garnish it in any so many different ways to signal the tropical inspired flavors inside.
Try a shaved coconut rim garnish, float an orange slice on top, stick a citrus peel to the side, or place a pineapple leaf on the top. Or try any combination of them! Like using a pineapple leaf to attach the citrus peel to the rim, as shown.
