This is a blender drink that some may remember from years gone by:
Original recipe from Famous Ramos Orange Julius copied from the LA Times newspaper in the early 70’s (1972 I think)
½ 6 ounce can of Frozen Orange juice Concentrate
½ cup milk or half and half
½ cup water
¼ cup of sugar
¼ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
5 or 6 ice cubes
Put all ingredients in a blender and blend for about 30 seconds(until ice is broken up into small pieces)
If you would like to make an alcoholic version of this drink, double the recipe(it will still fit into the blender) and substituting equal amounts of alcohol( I have use vodka or light rum) for water. I suggest using no more that ¼ cup of alcohol (3/4 cup water, ¼ cup alcohol). Total volume of water and alcohol must equal 1 cup. CAUTION- be careful because of the sweetness this drink, it goes down easy and you may not be able to stand after drinking a few of these.
Notes:
I have also decreased the amount of sugar than what is called for in the recipe when I make it because I think it is too sweet when you use the amount in the recipe.
