Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh orange juice (chilled is best!)
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust to your sweetness preference)
• ½ cup chilled evaporated milk
• 1 cup ice cubes
• Orange slice for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. Sweeten the Juice: Grab a cocktail shaker (or a jar with a tight-fitting lid). Pour in the fresh orange juice and add the granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar completely dissolves. This is key for a smooth, sweet sip!
2. Combine & Chill: Now, carefully add the well-chilled evaporated milk and a generous amount of ice to the shaker.
3. Shake it Up! Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds. You'll know it's ready when the outside of the shaker feels super cold to the touch. This vigorous shaking is what gives Morir Soñando its signature frothy, creamy texture and helps prevent curdling.
4. Serve & Garnish: Strain the beautiful, frothy drink into a chilled tumbler. If you’re feeling fancy, pop an orange slice on the rim for a little extra tropical flair. Serve immediately and enjoy your moment of tropical bliss!
