Summer is in full swing, and the heat can sometimes get to be downright unbearable–especially toward the end of July and into August! Whether you’re enjoying a lazy afternoon by the pool and hosting a backyard BBQ bash, we’ve got the perfect cocktail to keep you cool.

Freshly squeezed orange juice, vodka, crushed ice, and a few other ingredients come together to make a refreshing libation called the Orange Crush. This tart, tangy, and slightly sweet beverage is delightful to sip on while enjoying the summertime sun (and accompanying heat wave).

Ingredients:

• • Crushed Ice
  • 2 oz. of fresh squeezed orange juice (can substitute bottled orange juice)
  • 1.5 oz. of vodka
  • 1 tbs. triple sec
  • Splash of lemon-lime sparkling water (can substitute lemon-lime flavored soda)
  • Orange slice for garnish

Directions

• Fill each glass with crushed ice
• Combine orange juice, vodka, and triple sec with ice inside cocktail shaker
• Shake ingredients vigorously
• Pour over ice
• Add a splash of lemon-lime sparkling water (or soda)
• Garnish with orange slice
• Enjoy!

And if you’re looking to add a fun pop of color to your next party, our Boston glassware is also available in shades of rose, red, green, blue, and smoke in our Boston Coloured glassware collection.
