Ingredients

2 cups premium vanilla ice cream
1 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup cold whole milk
2 maraschino cherries (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Add vanilla ice cream, orange juice, and cold milk to a blender
Cover and blend until smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides if needed
Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with a cherry if desired

Notes

Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the brightest flavor; canned juice may produce a muddier result
Adjust proportions to achieve desired consistency—add more milk for a thinner shake or more ice cream for extra creaminess
For a decadent twist, swirl in a small amount of honey or orange zest
Best served immediately for optimal texture
