Summer Specialty · 'To Die Dreaming'
Morir Soñando

Its name means 'to die dreaming,' and making it right takes speed — combine hot-day orange juice with milk too slowly and it curdles instead of turning silky.
Morir soñando blends fresh orange juice, evaporated milk, sugar, and ice into a pale, creamy, citrus drink, whipped together quickly so the acidity doesn't split the milk. It's a Dominican summer staple sold from juice stands and made at home across the country, distinct from similar-looking drinks found elsewhere in the Caribbean.
Why it's made this way: The drink is considered uniquely Dominican rather than shared regionally, and its dreamy name has made it a point of local culinary pride.
