Fruity Citrus Refreshing

Orange Crush is a simple, punchy three-ingredient shot combining vodka, triple sec, and orange juice in equal parts, shaken briefly and poured into a shot glass. The triple sec amplifies the orange flavour of the juice while the vodka provides clean spirit heat, creating a compact and sweet-tart experience. It is a popular bar shot at casual venues and themed nights.

History & Origins

Orange Crush as a cocktail shot is a modern American creation of disputed origin, likely emerging in the 1990s alongside the proliferation of flavoured shots and schnapps-based drinks in American bar culture. It draws its name from the popular carbonated soft drink, evoking a similar orange flavour profile in alcoholic form. No single creator or venue is definitively credited with the recipe.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Sweet orange and citrus with a clean vodka note and the orange peel warmth of triple sec. Palate: Bright and sweet with forward orange flavour from both the triple sec and the juice, a clean alcoholic kick from the vodka, and a subtle bitter edge from the orange liqueur. Finish: Short and sweet with a warming citrus fade.

Pro Tip

Chill the shot glass in the freezer beforehand and serve the Orange Crush ice cold immediately after shaking to maximise the clean citrus impact before the ice dilutes the shot.
