Morir Soñando is a refreshing, dairy-free Dominican beverage combining freshly squeezed orange and lime juices with creamy evaporated oat or coconut milk, lightly sweetened with agave syrup or brown sugar. Served cold over ice, it’s a perfect balance of citrusy brightness and smooth creaminess, ideal for a quick, cooling drink on a warm day.

Ingredients

Juices

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh squeezed orange juice, no pulp (about 4 medium oranges)
  • Juice of 1 lime

Sweetener

  • 1-2 tbsp agave syrup or light brown sugar

Milk and Ice

  • 2-3 cups of ice, plus more ice for serving
  • 1 cup evaporated oat or coconut milk (or use a can of lite coconut milk)

Seasonings and Garnish

  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • Orange slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Juices and Sweetener: Pour the freshly squeezed orange and lime juices into a large pitcher. Add your sweetener of choice, either agave syrup or light brown sugar, and mix thoroughly. If using a dry sweetener like sugar, stir until completely dissolved to ensure even sweetness.
  2. Chill with Ice: Add 2 cups of ice to the juice mixture and stir well. Allow the juice to chill fully; this step is crucial for the texture and flavor balance of the final drink.
  3. Incorporate Evaporated Milk: Once the juice is cold, slowly pour in the evaporated oat or coconut milk. Continuously stir the mixture to prevent the milk from separating, achieving a smooth, creamy texture.
  4. Add Remaining Ice and Seasoning: After the milk is fully blended, add the remaining ice cubes and stir in a small pinch of kosher salt. The salt enhances the sweetness and brightness of the orange juice.
  5. Serve: Pour the drink into cups filled with ice. Garnish with an orange slice if desired, and serve immediately while cold and refreshing.

Notes

  • Use fresh-squeezed juice without pulp for the best flavor and texture.
  • Agave syrup provides a milder sweetness compared to brown sugar; adjust quantities to taste.
  • Evaporated oat or coconut milk can be substituted with lite coconut milk for a similar creamy dairy-free effect.
  • Always add the milk after chilling the juice to prevent curdling and maintain a smooth consistency.
  • The pinch of salt is key as it enhances the drink’s flavors without making it noticeably salty.
  • Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the optimal chilled and creamy texture of the drink.
