Ingredients
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice 1 cup coconut milk 1/2 cup almond milk 1 tablespoon agave syrup 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups ice Edible flowers for garnish (e.g., lavender, rose petals)
Instructions
In a blender, combine the orange juice, coconut milk, almond milk, agave syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. Fill two elegant glasses halfway with ice, ensuring there is enough space for garnishing. Carefully pour the blended mixture into each glass, filling them to the brim while preserving a dramatic froth. For added visual appeal, swirl the drink gently with a spoon, creating a mesmerizing pattern of colors and textures. Delicately place edible flowers on top, allowing their petals to float in the drink like blooming sunsets.
Chef’s Insight To intensify the sunset effect, use natural food coloring made from fruit or vegetables like beetroot, carrots, or spinach.
