Morir Soñando: in Spanish, it means "to die dreaming." Popular in the Dominican Republic, this murky, pale yellow concoction is the perfect antidote to a hot summer day. It's blended to order from very cold fresh-squeezed orange juice, whole milk, sugar, and a pinch of vanilla extract; the result looks like coagulated hell but tastes like Creamsicle heaven. Available for $2.25 at El Oriental de Cuba, 416 Centre Street, Jamaica Plain. Call (617) 524-6464.
