Modelled on the creamsicle ice lolly, Orange Push-up blends spiced rum with orange juice, grenadine, and a splash of sour mix, served in a hurricane glass over a half-scoop of blended ice. The spiced rum brings warmth and complexity while the grenadine adds a sweet red-fruit note and deepens the vivid orange colour. The sour mix tempers the sweetness with a touch of acidity, and the blended preparation gives the drink a slushy texture. At around 7 percent ABV, it is a nostalgic, crowd-pleasing tropical cocktail.

History & Origins
Orange Push-up draws its inspiration from the Creamsicle or Push-Up ice cream bar, a beloved American treat combining orange sorbet and vanilla ice cream that has been produced since the 1930s. The cocktail interpretation blending spiced rum with orange juice became popular in American tiki-inspired and casual bar menus during the 2000s. The specific recipe's origin is disputed and no single creator is credited.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Sweet orange and tropical spice from the rum with a cherry-pomegranate sweetness from the grenadine. Palate: Bright and sweet-forward with orange juice driving the flavour, complemented by the spiced rum's cinnamon and vanilla warmth, grenadine's fruit sweetness, and a tart counterpoint from the sour mix. Finish: Sweet and warming with a gentle spice and fruit fade.
Pro Tip
Blend with half a scoop of crushed ice rather than cubed ice to achieve the creamy, slushy consistency that evokes the original push-up ice cream the cocktail is named after.
