Ingredients

  • 4 cups orange juice chilled
  • 2 cans evaporated milk chilled
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1-2 lime wedges
  • ice for serving
  • orange slices or lime wedges for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Chill the orange juice and evaporated milk in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before starting.
  • Pour the cold orange juice into the pitcher or bowl, add 2-3 ice cubes and stir to get it nice and cold. Pour the cold evaporated milk in a steady stream and whisk quickly as you combine the milk and orange juice!
  •  Pour in the sugar as you continue to whisk and then add the vanilla extract and a squeeze of lime. Give the mixture a final stir.
  • Chill the morir soñando for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator or serve immediately over ice. Garnish with orange slices or lime wedges (optional).

Notes

  • Orange juice and milk must be chilled ahead of time for best results. Remove the evaporated milk from cans prior to chilling.
  •  Whisk quickly to ensure the mixture doesn't curdle
  • Leftovers can be stored for 1-2 days in the refrigerator if using canned milk. Morir soñando made with fresh whole milk should be consumed right away.
