How To Decorate an Orange Julius Cocktail?
I like to garnish this tasty drink with some fresh orange slices or other citrus fruit and mint. I sometimes add a big dollop of my homemade whipped cream! If you want a more dessert like beverage, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

- Feel free to add more or less flavor depending on how you like it.
