Tall glasses of Orange JuliusWhen I was a kid, in the 1970s and 80s, Orange Julius was a really popular drink.  We had Orange Julius stores at the mall, and everyone made them at home, too. In fact, it was one of the first recipes that I learned how to make.  a tall glass of Orange JuliusIt’s cool, refreshing, healthy, and it tastes like a fresh creamcicle in a glass.  Orange JuliusI love colorful paper straws!  They make everything a little more fun.  You can

 I’ve used them several times like with this Blue Pina Colada  or this Christmas Drink.  When I use smaller cups, I simply cut the straws in half.
