Orange Crush is a cocktail made of vodka, triple sec, orange juice, and lemon-lime soda.[1][2]
Preparation
editAdd 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
editThe 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 August 2024, the Orange Crush became the official state cocktail of Delaware.[5] The legislation signed by Governor John Carney acknowledged the drink's Maryland origin but said that it was "made famous" and "perfected" at The Starboard in Dewey Beach, Delaware.[2][4][6]
