Chill the orange juice and evaporated milk in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour beforehand to ensure the ingredients are cold.
In a large mixing bowl or jug, combine the evaporated milk and granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add a pinch of salt and the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Slowly pour the cold orange juice into the milk mixture while whisking gently. It is crucial to pour the juice gradually to prevent curdling.
Fill two tall glasses halfway with ice cubes.
Carefully pour the Morir Soñando mixture over the ice, dividing evenly between the glasses.
