Morir soñando, which in English means "to die dreaming," might be the most inappropriately named -- and delectable -- drink you've never heard of.
The mocktail, a staple of Dominican Republic breakfast fare, actually doesn't kill you in your sleep.

The made-to-order blend, available at the 2048 Amsterdam Avenue greasy spoon, combines citrusy and creamy flavors. The result: a smoothie-like mix reminiscent of Creamsicles, featuring a frothy top layer.
Compared with other morir soñando recipes -- some of which include vanilla or starfruit garnishes -- Jimbo's approach is pretty straightforward.
Still, the beverage excels in its simplicity. The refreshing balance of heavy and light aromas has the same effect as eating sorbet between meal courses -- the low-key drink helps to clean the palate of the eatery's fattier fare.
