Remember orange creamsicle bars? This drink tastes exactly like one, with a grown-up twist. Orange juice concentrate gives it intense flavor without making it watery.
It's also one of the prettiest frozen drinks: a soft pastel orange with a little whipped cream on top.

Blender, frozen drink maker or slush machine?
These amounts are written for a standard countertop blender. In an ice-shaving frozen drink maker, put the ice in the hopper and the liquids and any fruit in the jar, then run a full cycle. In a home slush machine, which freezes the drink itself, leave out the ice, replace it with about 1 cup of cold water or juice, and pour the mixed liquid into the bowl.
