❓ Orange Thunder Cocktail FAQ
Can I make a mocktail?
Yes—skip the orange liqueur and add 1–2 tbsp orange syrup or a splash of orange soda for extra citrus pop.
Dairy-free option?
Use a non-dairy vanilla ice cream and barista-style oat or almond milk. It’ll still be creamy and luscious.

Add 1–2 tsp orange zest or a few drops of orange extract; you can also sub half the milk with extra OJ.

Balance with a squeeze of lemon or lime and thin with a splash of milk or OJ. For thicker, add another scoop of ice cream.
