Orange Vanilla Refresher
A bright and refreshing citrus drink with a hint of vanilla that creates a creamsicle-like flavor. Light, smooth, and nostalgic, it’s a quick and easy treat for warm days.

Notes
Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor, though high-quality store-bought juice works well. Be careful not to add too much vanilla, as it can overpower the citrus. Serve well chilled for maximum refreshment. Variations include adding milk for a creamier version, blending with frozen juice for a slushy texture, or mixing with other citrus juices. Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for up to 24 hours and stirred before serving.
