Morir Soñando

This modified shopping cart is tricked out for one purpose Morir Soñando. If you live, love and learn in the Heights, then you are as familiar with these as you are with white tees. I can only handle about one a year, but I see homeboys drink them like water, and you almost never see a cart empty like this, maybe this is the dude who sucks at making them or uses poison oranges or something.

If you've never had one, a Morir Soñando is basically fresh squeezed orange juice and evaporated milk. Seriously. The literal translation is,"to die dreaming," and it's not far off. The experience is basically like drinking a cream-sickle, but like, the orgasm version of drinking a cream-sickle.

Here's a recipe I straight jacked from Aunt Clara in case you want to try making your own, but I really, really recommend you squeeze your juice fresh. Also, be careful, this is definitely a, "no swimming for at least twenty minutes after" type treat.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups orange juice
• 1/2 cup of sugar
• 4 cups of evaporated milk
• 2 1/2 cup of ice cubes

Preparation:

1. Mix sugar and milk and stir until all the sugar has dissolved. Add the ice to the milk and stir. Slowly pour the orange juice in the milk stirring constantly. Serve immediately.
