A tall glass of refreshment inspired by childhood memories of creamsicles.

Inspired by the iconic creamsicle, Bar Hermanito bar manager Taylor Lax created this tall glass of refreshment with vodka, orange and vanilla liqueurs, plus a malic/citric acid solution that imitates the acidity of lime juice. “Something about the orange and vanilla on a hot summer day brings back memories of summers during my childhood,” he says.
