How to Make an Orange Slushy with Orange Juice Concentrate

If you’re wondering how to make an orange slushy with orange juice concentrate, you’re in the right place. This is one of those tasty treats that feels like a throwback to an old-school Orange Julius recipe—only easier. You’ll love how refreshing it is.

The Ingredients Are Simple

We’re using simple ingredients you probably already have. This makes two servings.
• 6 oz frozen orange juice concentrate
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 10 to 12 ice cubes

Put everything into a blender. For best results, blend until it’s smooth and thick—just the way you like your orange slushy. That’s it. Nothing fancy. Just blend and pour.

When to Serve This Orange Drink

You can enjoy this refreshing treat almost anytime. It’s perfect for brunch, breakfast, or after a long day in the sun.

After mowing the lawn? This hits the spot.
Working in the garden or on the job? This cools you down fast.

It’s the kind of orange drink you want during the heat of summer.

A Fun Throwback and a Family Favorite

This recipe brings up memories of those creamy drinks from the mall. It’s similar to an Orange Julius recipe, but even easier to make at home. No trip to the store needed.

And yes, someone will ask for a second helping—it’s that good.

If you’re into food trends, this might remind you of those popular “TikTok make” drink hacks. But this one’s been around for years. Tried and true.

Optional Twist: Add Fresh Oranges

Want a little something extra? Try blending in a few fresh oranges. It adds a burst of citrus from the fresh juice and a slightly pulpy texture. You still get all the creaminess and chill from the original orange slushy, with just a hint more sunshine.

Perfect for hot days. My boys like throwing raw eggs into their smoothies and it goes well with this as well. Note: I am not to blame if you consume raw eggs. 

Make It Again and Again: Orange Slush for Any Occasion 

This orange slushy is a staple during hot summer days. It’s easy, quick, and makes people smile. Keep a can of frozen concentrate in the freezer and you’ll always be ready.

Time to be a Doer and Make This Orange Slushy

Pin it, share it, or make it now.

With just a few ice cubes, a blender, and some time to chill out, you’ve got a sweet, cold escape from the heat.

I have the cutest glasses that I got last year at my local antique/thrifting shop. It’s fun to dress these up in a fun cup.
