Notes
Tipsy Orange Julius Cocktail: If serving this Orange Julius to adults, I suggest adding some vanilla vodka. You can use up to 6 ounces (1 ounce per serving) I personally only use ½ ounce per serving.
Milk Options: I like to use unsweetened vanilla almond milk (that has zero grams of added sugar) in the base of this Orange Julius. Canned Coconut milk is another delicious non-dairy option and creates a richer smoothie. If you are not dairy-free, you can use regular milk for this Orange Julius recipe.
Orange Juice: Be sure to use pulp-free orange juice concentrate for a smoother drink.
Vanilla Extract: If you use vanilla-flavored non-dairy milk, you can omit the vanilla extract.
