Copycat Orange Julius Recipe
Description
Copycat Orange Julius recreates the classic frothy orange drink by blending frozen orange juice concentrate with milk, water, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Ice is added and blended further to achieve a drinkable, well-chilled consistency similar to the original beverage. The balance of sweet citrus and creamy dairy creates a refreshing texture and flavor.
The recipe suggests optional enhancements with vodka or champagne. Vodka can be incorporated either into the blend for a uniform flavor or added individually to glasses. Champagne is added after blending to preserve carbonation, either as a floater or gently stirred in per serving.
This drink can be served as a cold, fruity refreshment for warm days or social occasions. Garnishing with fresh orange slices enhances its presentation.
Adjusting water quantity helps tailor thickness according to taste and orange juice concentrate consistency. Using a high-powered blender ensures a smooth texture without ice chunks.
Ingredients
- 6 oz orange juice concentrate frozen
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ice cubes
- orange slices for garnish
Instructions
- Combine the orange juice concentrate, milk, water, sugar and vanilla into a high powered blender. Blend until smooth. Consistency of orange juice concentrate can vary, so you can add more water if the beverage is too thick.

- Pour into glasses and garnish with an orange slice.
