Start using your blender at a low speed and work your way up in speed so it blends all your ingredients efficiently and appropriately.

If you don’t have orange juice concentrate, try freezing fresh orange juice into cubes so it gives it a nice icy consistency to blend into your drink while still giving you the perfect orange flavor.

What To Serve with Homemade Orange Julius

Straws: You can’t drink this thick smoothie (easily) without a straw! I love these reusable straws because they’re fun to look at and help save the environment.

Ice cube trays: We don’t have an ice maker, and these trays are lifesavers! No shattered ice cubes here because of a helpful ice cube tray.

It’s big enough for a few batches of this fabulous treat, too!

Blender: This blender is great for making smoothies or mixing sauces.

The milk is a great neutralizer from the acidic orange juice, and the combination makes for a special treat. Milk and orange juice together? I know, but trust me, it works well together. The ingredients may make you wonder a bit. Blending ice cubes into your mix ensures every sip’s perfect, refreshing temperature.

Ice cubes: These are crucial for creating the characteristic frothy and chilly texture of a classic Orange Julius.

The vanilla essence melds the citrus and creamy flavors together harmoniously.

Vanilla extract: It brings a subtle yet important note of warmth and complexity that elevates the flavors of your Orange Julius.

Powdered sugar dissolves more easily in the blend, making your drink smooth and lump-free.

Powdered sugar: This adds just the right amount of sweetness to complement the tangy citrus of the orange juice concentrate.

Water: It helps thin the mixture and adds balance, ensuring your Orange Julius isn’t overly thick or rich.

The full printable recipe card with measurements and instructions is found at the bottom of the post. You can add it to the blender before hand or just add a shot to the bottom of your glass before pouring in the frozen concoction.We respect your privacy. If you wanna add a little kick to your Orange Julius (because you are older now and you can) I recommend either rum or vodka. As a mom myself, I can almost guarantee that Mom made her own, adult version, for herself. Much like Karen Wheeler in Stranger Things, Mom always had a glass of wine in the evening at the ready. I was so obsessed with Orange Julius as a teen that I made my Mom make them for us at home. It should taste something like a Creamsicle or the orange Push-up pops from the ice-cream truck. The milk will make it creamy (and you can use cream if you really wanna) but you don’t want too much sugar in there. Blend until you have the consistency of a milkshake (but with ice).

Add orange juice concentrate, vanilla extract, milk and sugar to a blender ( I love my Ninja!) half full of ice.

Like most foods from the 80’s and 90’s, the Orange Julius is a simple blend of some highly Americanized ingredients. The creamy, citrus-y refreshing taste of that delectable concoction. Has to be.) Anyway, we were watching the show and there it was, tucked back in the corner of the Starcourt Mall…the Orange Julius.

I hadn’t thought about Orange Julius in years until we started binging Stranger Things this summer (and I cannot WAIT for Season 4! Hopper has GOT TO BE ALIVE y’all. I shopped at the Gap, I got my ears pierced at Claire’s and every single time we went to the mall, I BEGGED for an Orange Julius.Īnd because my mom was amazing, I usually got one. I spent a HUGE amount of time at the Bellevue Mall in Nashville when I was a teenager. Channel your inner mall-rat and whip up a batch of Orange Julius! Perfect for your 80’s and 90’s themed party (or Stranger Things marathon!)
