Morir sonando is a popular Dominican drink whose simple combination of cold orange juice and milk tastes bright and creamy.
Chilling every ingredient and whisking the juice gradually into the milk keeps the mixture smooth and refreshing.
Use very cold juice and milk, then mix only when ready to serve.
Serving Suggestions
Serve immediately over ice with a small orange slice and simple savory snacks.
Recipe Notes
Prepare and chill the components separately; once combined, the drink should not be stored.

Chill and Mix:
- Whisk sugar, vanilla, and salt into the cold orange juice until dissolved. Refrigerate the sweetened juice and evaporated milk separately for at least 30 minutes.

Notes
- Both liquids must be very cold, and the juice should be added gradually to reduce curdling.
- Morir sonando is best mixed and served immediately; do not store it after combining.
