Orange Crush Drink Recipe


  • Author: Amelia Dorland

Ingredients

  • Fresh oranges (about 4-5 big ones)
  • Orange-flavored soda (like Fanta or Crush)
  • Ice cubes
  • Sugar (just a little bit)
  • Water

 


Instructions

Preparing the Oranges

  1. First, let’s get our oranges ready. Wash them really well.
  2. Cut the oranges in half.
  3. If you have a juicer, use it to squeeze out all the juice. If you don’t have a juicer, don’t worry! Just squeeze the oranges with your hands over a bowl. Try to get as much juice as you can.
  4. If there are any seeds in the juice, pick them out.

Mixing the Ingredients

  1. Take your big glass or pitcher.
  2. Pour in the fresh orange juice you just made.
  3. Add a little bit of sugar – about 1 tablespoon for every cup of juice. If you like it sweeter, you can add more.
  4. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
  5. Now, add some ice cubes to make it nice and cold.
  6. Pour in the orange soda. Use about the same amount of soda as you did juice.
  7. Stir everything together gently.

Serving and Garnishing

  1. Get your drinking glasses ready.
  2. Put some ice cubes in each glass.
  3. Carefully pour your orange crush drink into the glasses.
  4. If you want to make it look fancy, you can cut a small slice of orange and put it on the rim of the glass.
  5. You can also add a straw if you like.

 

Notes

Here’s something important to remember: While orange crush is super yummy, it does have quite a bit of sugar. It’s okay to enjoy it as a special treat, but drinking too much sugary stuff isn’t good for your teeth or your body. So enjoy your orange crush, but maybe not every day!

Also, if you’re using store-bought orange soda, check the ingredients. Some brands use artificial colors or flavors. If you want to avoid those, you can make your own “soda” by mixing plain soda water with a little extra orange juice and sugar.
