Orange Crush is a cocktail made of vodka, triple sec, orange juice, and lemon-lime soda.[1][2]
Preparation
Add 2 oz. vodka, 1 oz. triple sec, and 3 oz. orange juice to a glass filled with ice. Top with a splash of lemon-lime soda and mix well. Garnish with orange peel or orange slice.[1]
Add 2 oz. vodka, 2 oz. triple sec, and 1/3 cup orange juice to a pint glass filled with ice. Top with a splash of lemon-lime soda and serve immediately.[3]
History
The Orange Crush cocktail was invented at the Harborside Bar & Grill in West Ocean City, Maryland, in 1995 as a concoction of vodka, freshly squeezed oranges, and triple sec, topped off with a splash of lemon-lime soda.[2][4]
In July 2024, the Delaware General Assembly passed a bill naming the Orange Crush as the official state cocktail of Delaware. The legislation, still awaiting the governor's signature, acknowledges the drink's Maryland origin but saying that it was "made famous" and "perfected" at The Starboard in Dewey Beach, Delaware.[2][4][5]
