Morir soñando
Morir soñando is a popular beverage of the Dominican Republic which has made its way to other Caribbean and Latin American countries, usually made of orange juice, milk, cane sugar, and chopped ice. Sometimes vanilla extract is also added, or evaporated milk is used instead of regular milk. The recipe varies greatly depending on the region and family heritage. American observers have described the drink as resembling an orange Creamsicle, or the eponymous drink of Orange Julius.
This drink has gained some popularity in Puerto Rico on the west side of the island where many Dominicans live, although the recipe has been changed due to the fear of getting sick when milk is mixed with citrus causing curd. Orange along with lemon or lime and tangerine are zested and steamed with evaporated milk and sugar. Vanilla is then added. This recipe is becoming more popular for flan, limbre and piragua.
