I Found Orange Crush’s Forgotten Cocktail Recipes

#wine #winetasting #drink #cocktail

Orange Crush once published an entire Fiesta recipe booklet filled with Orange Crush drinks, including a section of alcoholic “Crush Refreshers.” I’m making five of the strangest vintage Orange Crush cocktails from the booklet, including drinks with Campari, rum, gin, Cointreau, white wine, ginger ale and orange sherbet, to see if any of them actually hold up today.
