Turn Up the Flavor: Party & Dessert Drinks with Soda Jerk Root Beer and Orange Cream Vodka

Party & Desert Drinks With Soda Jerk

When it comes to throwing a party, great friends, the drinks, and desserts are what people remember most. That’s where Soda Jerk Root Beer and Orange Cream Vodka comes in. With their nostalgic soda-shop flavors and smooth 35% kick, they’re perfect for transforming ordinary parties into unforgettable events.

Whether you’re hosting a backyard BBQ, a birthday party, game night, or just a fun get-together with friends, Soda Jerk makes it easy to create desserts and party snacks with a grown-up twist. Here are a few creative ideas you can try.

Root Beer or Orange Cream Jello Shots

Jello shots are always a hit, but with Soda Jerk you can take them to another level. Instead of the typical fruit flavors, try vanilla Jello combined with Soda Jerk Root Beer or Orange Cream Vodka to create a dessert-style shot that tastes like a soda fountain classic.

How to make them:

  1. Bring 1 cup of water to a boil.
  2. Add one box of vanilla gelatin and stir until completely dissolved.
  3. Add ½ cup cold water and ½ cup Soda Jerk Root Beer or Orange Cream Vodka.
  4. Stir gently and pour into small plastic shot cups with lids.
  5. Refrigerate for about 3–4 hours until firm.

The result is a creamy, nostalgic flavor that tastes like a boozy root beer float or orange creamsicle. They’re easy to stack in a cooler and perfect for parties, tailgates, or celebrations.

Root Beer Infused Cupcakes

Dessert lovers will appreciate this fun twist on cupcakes. The sweet vanilla and caramel notes in Soda Jerk Root Beer vodka pair perfectly with baked treats.

Simple idea:

Use your favorite vanilla or chocolate cupcake mix and replace a small portion of the liquid with Soda Jerk Root Beer. After baking, brush the tops lightly with a little more Soda Jerk before frosting.

For frosting, try a vanilla buttercream or even a cream cheese frosting. You’ll get subtle root beer float flavors in every bite.

Want to go even further? Add a drizzle of caramel on top for a dessert that feels like a gourmet soda shop creation.

Adult Popsicles (Perfect for Summer)

Adult popsicles are one of the easiest party desserts you can make, and Soda Jerk’s nostalgic flavors are ideal for them.

Root Beer Float Popsicles

Blend together:

  • Vanilla ice cream
  • A splash of milk
  • Soda Jerk Root Beer vodka

Pour into popsicle molds and freeze overnight. The result is a creamy frozen treat with a smooth root beer kick.

Orange Cream Popsicles

Mix:

  • Orange juice
  • Vanilla yogurt or cream
  • Soda Jerk Orange Cream vodka

Freeze in molds and enjoy a frozen adult version of the classic creamsicle.

These are great for summer parties, pool days, or backyard gatherings.

Soda Jerk Dessert Floats

Of course, you can never go wrong with the classic float — just with a grown-up upgrade.

Root Beer Float Cocktail

  • 1–2 oz Soda Jerk Root Beer vodka
  • Root beer
  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream

Serve in a tall glass and watch the foam rise just like the old-fashioned soda fountain drinks — except now it’s made for adults.

Orange Cream Float

  • 1–2 oz Soda Jerk Orange Cream vodka
  • Orange soda
  • Vanilla ice cream

This tastes just like a creamy orange creamsicle, but with an extra kick.

Party Tips for Serving Soda Jerk Desserts

If you’re planning to serve these at a party, a few simple ideas can make the presentation even better:

  • Use mini dessert cups or shot cups with lids for easy serving.
  • Create a dessert drink station where guests can customize their own floats.
  • Serve popsicles in a cooler filled with ice for a fun grab-and-go treat.
  • Label flavors so guests know whether they’re grabbing Root Beer or Orange Cream.

Not only do these ideas taste great, but they also make fantastic conversation starters.
