This taste just like the name implies-dreamy. You get a nice froth from the orange juice/cream mixture, with a smooth yet mildly spicy finish with the sorbet and cinnamon. Great summer drink for a backyard bbq, or ladies night on the patio. *Recipe can also be seen in the Spoonful of Foodies e-book
1 pint orange sorbet (I was fancy and used blood orange sorbet)
Clementine vodka
3 egg whites
zest of an orange
12 oz can frozen orange juice thawed
6 oz whole milk
6 oz heavy cream
¼ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp sugar
ice cubes
Make meringue first-beat three egg whites and orange zest in a stand mixer until stiff peaks, set aside
Combine orange juice, milk, cream, cinnamon, and sugar into a shaker (I used a mason jar) and shake until frothy and combined
To make one drink use 3 scoops sorbet, ½ oz clementine vodka, 1 oz orange juice poured into glass by place a spoon long ways over the top of the glass and pouring mixture over it so it flows nicely. You can blend in the blender with 3 ice cubes, or just drink it as is. Use martini glasses, add a dollop of meringue and a little curl of orange peel to finish it off.
I’m now past the point where I can drink martinis (and basically every other cocktail) without falling asleep promptly. But I’d be willing to risk it for this drink!
Kim, I can have one and that’s about it!

That drink looks absolutely delicious! I will certainly give it a try.
This sounds incredible! I’ve pinned and need to make this over the weekend!
let me know what you think!
I’ve never been too into martinis but they’re something my late grandfather loved so I’ll have to try this out.
Yum!! This is definitely a weekend summer must.
I have meringue issues, so I would leave that off. Leaving that aside, this looks like a fun drink! Great job!

Oh yum!! I love this drink! Pinned!
I could try this. We just happened to buy orange vodka. Good idea for summertime imbibing. Thank you for the idea. Blessings~
Love dreamsicles, I never thought of making it into a martini before!
That sounds so good. I have only had an apple martini but I want to try this one.
This post reminds me of being a kid and having dreamsicles. Man, I haven’t had a dreamsicle in years!
Looks beautiful! I am going to have to make a virgin version!
This sounds heavenly! I love the orangy taste! How about combining this with a little bit of Bailey’s, I bet that would taste unbelivable!
Now this sounds yummy! I love a good martini!
Oh that sounds so yummy. I will be making this with my friend next weekend.
I love a good cocktail recipe! I need to add this one to my list.
