Here’s a recipe for a classic Orange Julius that you can whip up at home in no time. This single-serving recipe is perfect for those moments when you need a refreshing pick-me-up.

- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6-8 ice cubes
Let’s Make Magic!
- Gather your ingredients: Start by measuring out all your ingredients. Fresh is best when it comes to orange juice, but if you’re in a pinch, store-bought will do just fine.
- Blend it up: Add all ingredients to your blender. Make sure to put the ice in last to help everything blend smoothly.
- Mix to perfection: Blend on high speed for about 30 seconds, or until the ice is completely crushed and the mixture is smooth and frothy.
- Taste test: Give it a quick taste. If it’s not sweet enough for your liking, add a bit more sugar and blend again.
- Serve and enjoy: Pour your Orange Julius into a tall glass and serve immediately. For an extra touch of nostalgia, add a colorful straw!
Tips for Smooth Sipping
To achieve that perfectly smooth texture we all know and love:
- Use crushed ice instead of whole cubes for easier blending.
- If you find your drink too thick, add a splash more water or milk.
- For an extra creamy version, try using vanilla ice cream instead of ice!
There you have it – your very own classic Orange Julius! It’s smooth, it’s refreshing, and it’s bursting with sunny orange flavor. Perfect for brightening up any day, rain or shine.
Happy blending, and cheers to sweet, frothy goodness! 🍊🥤
