White Crème de Cacao, Amaretto, triple sec, vodka, and light cream come together in the Orgasm, shaken with ice and strained into a chilled cocktail glass. The almond sweetness of the Amaretto meets the chocolate note of the Crème de Cacao, while triple sec lends citrus brightness and the vodka adds clean spirit depth. The cream binds these elements into a silky, dessert-style texture at roughly 17 percent ABV. Accessible and pleasantly sweet, it is a creamy after-dinner cocktail whose balance of nut, chocolate, and citrus keeps it from cloying.

History & Origins
The Orgasm cocktail is a popular American bar drink of disputed origin that emerged in the late 20th century alongside the proliferation of cream-and-liqueur cocktails. It belongs to a family of similarly named drinks including the Multiple Orgasm and Screaming Orgasm, which differ in minor ingredient variations. No single creator is definitively credited, and it appears in bartending guides from the 1980s onward.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Sweet almond from the Amaretto, chocolate from the Crème de Cacao, and a citrus note from the triple sec with cream softening the whole. Palate: Creamy and sweet upfront with almond and chocolate flavours weaving together, the vodka providing a clean spirit backbone and the triple sec adding a subtle orange brightness; light cream gives it a luxurious mouthfeel. Finish: Smooth and sweet with a lingering almond and chocolate character.
Pro Tip
Shake vigorously for a full 10 to 15 seconds with plenty of ice to ensure the cream is fully integrated and the cocktail is properly chilled before straining.
Frequently Asked Questions
What ingredients make up an Orgasm cocktail?
The Orgasm cocktail — often called a Screaming Orgasm in its vodka variant — is typically made with vodka, Baileys Irish Cream, Kahlúa coffee liqueur, and sometimes Amaretto or Grand Marnier. The creamy, coffee-forward base is shaken with ice and strained into a chilled glass, or served over ice for a longer drink. The sweet, layered flavors of cream, coffee, and almond make it a popular dessert cocktail.
What are the common variations of the Orgasm cocktail?
The Multiple Orgasm adds a heavy cream float over the base mixture, while the Screaming Orgasm incorporates vodka in addition to the cream liqueur for extra spirit. A Slippery Nipple is a related layered shot using Baileys and Butterscotch schnapps. The Silent Orgasm omits the vodka, relying solely on the Irish cream and coffee liqueur for a softer, lower-alcohol version.
What is the ABV of an Orgasm cocktail?
An Orgasm cocktail typically has an ABV of around 15–20%, as the primary ingredients — Baileys at 17% and Kahlúa at 20% — are medium-strength liqueurs without high-proof spirit additions. Versions that add vodka or other spirits increase the ABV to 20–25%. The creamy texture and sweetness of the drink tend to mask the alcohol, making it easy to underestimate its strength.
