- ⅔ cup (158 mL / 5.3 fl oz) orange sherbet
- ¾ cup (177 mL / 6 fl oz) orange soda

Instructions
- Chilling Preparation: Refrigerate a tall glass to enhance the milkshake’s presentation and maintain its frosty temperature.
- Blending Foundation: Pour chilled orange soda into a high-powered blender, creating a vibrant base for the creamsicle milkshake.
- Creamy Fusion: Combine vanilla ice cream and orange sherbet in the blender, ensuring a harmonious balance of flavors and textures.

Notes
- Chill Your Glass: Freezing the glass beforehand ensures the milkshake stays cold longer and creates a frosty, professional presentation.
- Precise Blending Technique: Pulse the mixture briefly to maintain a smooth texture without over-mixing, which can make the shake too liquid.
- Temperature Matters: Use chilled ingredients and blend quickly to preserve the creamy, thick consistency that defines a perfect milkshake.
- Garnish with Flair: The orange slice and maraschino cherry aren’t just decorative – they add a burst of flavor and elevate the entire drinking experience.
