A frozen beverage variant featuring citrus flavor, augmented with dairy and a frozen dessert component, is a blended concoction intended for consumption as a refreshment or treat. This type of blended drink often incorporates concentrated orange juice, milk (or a milk substitute), sugar (or sweetener), ice, and vanilla extract as a base, with the addition of a frozen dairy product to enhance its creaminess and flavor profile. The inclusion of the frozen component differentiates it from simpler citrus-based beverages.
The addition of the dairy element and a frozen dessert provides a richer texture and a heightened sensory experience compared to traditional fruit smoothies. The dessert element adds sweetness and body, transforming what would otherwise be a lighter, fruit-forward drink into a more substantial and indulgent offering. This results in a unique beverage experience. Historically, similar blended beverages have been popular as both a breakfast alternative and a dessert option due to their nutritional content and palatable nature.
