📜 History

The Orange Creamsicle drink pays homage to the Creamsicle frozen treat invented by Frank Epperson in 1905. Epperson, who also invented the Popsicle, created the vanilla ice cream center surrounded by orange ice. The non-alcoholic drink version emerged at American soda fountains, capturing the nostalgic flavor combination of orange and vanilla that has delighted generations of Americans.
