    Huh? Maybe I have been living in a cave but I have never heard of whipped cream vodka. Is there cream in the vodka (ala Bailey's) or is it frothy? What does it taste like? I might have to check it out for the novelty of it.

      It's made by Pinnacle and looks like plain vodka. It's just flavored like whipped cream, but it tastes like sugar and chemicals.

      I've tried it. I think it's yucky, but that might be a nausea-conditioned aversion resulting from the fact that I have to be pretty drunk before I let my friend talk me into shooting it. I think it's only a 12-dollar investment, so give it a try!

            i mixed with orange soda and tasted of cream....creamsicle, exactly

            i tried a bit on ice and it tasted a touch fake (obvi) but still good just too sweet for me to drink straight...yes i prefer the sweetness of soda than fake chemical sweet, i suppose.

              I was thinking the same.... orange creamsicle! It might make a novelty summer party drink for my 20 -something kids when they come visit. Creamsicles of all kinds. Might be fun.

                i only had one of the drinks - mixed half and half about 4 oz vodka and 4 oz orange soda - and the sugar just killed me the next morning....keeping in mind i'm more a beer/wine drinker....or straight "spirits" with simple mixers like club soda and the occasional whiskey and coke.

                but yes, watch out for the sugar or the hangover the next day will be brutal.

                  Dehydration rather than the sugar is the source of the headache drink a bottle of water before bed and you will be fine.

        Our 22 yo daughter brought some home over the holidays. Pretty vile. IO also don't trust whipped cream that CANNOT be refrigerated.

        This might appeal to a 22 yo, but not real adults

          my friends in their mid-20s think it's ok, it's my 30+ friends who love it - i guess i will need to give it a try...prob not something i could drink more than one of due to the sugar but my curiosity has been peaked.

          thanks everyone!

            Just try it or yourself, there's no accounting for taste - I mean I think Bud Light and Diet Coke are vile but they are two of the best selling drinks in the world so someone obviously likes them.

          I think it's revolting. The taste is very chemically and ridiculously sweet.

            I like strong manly liquor - Pusser's Navy rum, peat monster Islay Scotches, 108 proof Wild Turkey Rare Breed - I drink them neat. Stuff that will put hair on your chest.

            That said - I also like that silly whipped cream vodka on occasion - it's sweet enough to give you diabetes, but it's very easy to drink. Too easy to drink.

            I have always had a bottle in my cabinet since I first tried it, I think I'm on my third - Just don't tell anyone ;-)

              haha that's kind of how i drink yet i am hearing the good stuff from such a varied group.
              i have had the flu the last few days but it is the first thing i want to try once i am better...and i normally do not like the sweet stuff at all.

              p.s. - i know a lot of these crazy flavors are out like cotton candy and bubble gum (which i tried and though its spot on in flavor i will never drink again) - this one has me very curious....kind of like four loko which i also have yet to try but do hold one in my possession to try one day, split with a friend most likely.

                I've had the cotton candy one too but IMO it is not nearly as good as the whipped cream.

                  Actually I tried the cotton candy one again (last time I was - uhh - compromised) and it is not good at all, has a weird unpleasant artificial taste - but despite what the others say I still like the whipped cream one, but it is definitely a guilty pleasure. (I also should mention I have a sweet tooth.)

                Manly? Hair on your chest? I wonder if others make their purchases for these reasons?

                  I'm sure they do. And some of us actually like things that have strong flavors that challenge our palates;

                  That said this vodka is strictly for when you have a sweet craving. I usually drink it after I've been drinking other things and my palate is a little numb, so my judgment maybe a little compromised LOL.
