🇩🇴 Dominican Republic recipe

Morir Soñando

Morir Soñando — meaning 'to die dreaming' — is the Dominican Republic's most beloved beverage, a luscious blend of fresh orange juice, milk, sugar, and ice that somehow works despite the seemingly incompatible combination of citrus and dairy. The secret is in the technique: the milk must be ice-cold and mixed gently so it does not curdle. The result is a creamy, tangy, refreshing drink that tastes like a tropical creamsicle in liquid form.
