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.

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.
