I still remember the first time I had a sip when I was a kid at the mall and it was this wild mix of sensations because it was cold and sweet and tangy like an orange creamsicle mixed with a fluffy cloud
Then fast forward to me years later when I tried making it myself at home but I completely forgot the ice so instead of a smoothie it turned out more like a warm milkshake which wasn’t exactly the plan .
