Frosty, frozen, and swirled with a creamy vanilla soft serve - the frozen orange juice slush is a tart contrast that imparts some legendary flavor. Fans may rave for their Dole Whips, but if you prefer that bright orange flavor, a Citrus Swirl will be your thing. For guests looking to enjoy a more straight forward taste of fresh Florida orange juice, the Orange Bird sipper is an adorable way to partake.
