This is a tropical, exotic Dominican juice, ideal for those hot summer afternoons when you crave something refreshing. It's extraordinary and so easy to prepare. It tastes like orange creamsicle, so delicious it will probably make you feel like you can "die dreaming". The traditional sweet orange morir soñando recipe calls for orange juice (store-bought or freshly squeezed), sugar, whole milk and vanilla, very similar to the orange julius of 1929, but in this post I share the bitter orange recipe which is my favorite. It tastes the same but it's just a bit stronger.
WARNING: All this juice has as dangerous is the name, you can confidently drink it. Dream on, you will definitely not die! Enjoy!

If you are like me and like to make your juice glasses look nice for hubby and kids, and make them love you even more, this is another way to decorate the glass with a fresh orange slice and a cherry inserted on a 4 "(10 cm) BBQ toothpick and placed across the glass. I got this idea from my daughter Crystal.

I will deliver you, and you will honor me.” ~ Psalm 50:15
