Make Orange Julius

The orange julius was popularized by Julius Freed, a Los Angeles businessman in the 1920s. When he first opened his drink stand, sales were tepid. Then Freed tweaked his drink and sales skyrocketed. Pretty soon, people were lining up at his drink stand, shouting "give me an orange, Julius!" The name was born. If you want to make a tangy, citrus milkshake that really hits the spot without having to shell out lots of money for the real deal, look no further.
