Orange Crush tastes so good on a hot day. I drink other soda more often but I enjoy a Crush once in awhile.

My family made ice cream with Orange Crush. 6 pack of it and 2 cans Eagle brand sweetened condensed&nbsp;milk. Put in freezer, add dry ice and crank the handle. 😃 great stuff

I often make my own orange soda with Sprite or 7 up and OJ. About half and half. No vodka. LOL.

But many people want booze in theirs.

Never liked orange fanta. Only Orange Crush.

I think OJ and Sprite would resemble Orangina more than Crush. Orangina is delicious too, so I’d still be up for trying it.

Sadly, Orange Crush doesn’t have OJ in it. So you’re right. The homemade orange soda is a different.

That’s why we still buy two or three six packs of Orange Crush every summer. I crave the real thing after mowing the yard. Resting under a shade tree and popping the cap.

I used to drink Coke and orange juice occasionally as a kid.

Of all the orange drinks, I most miss Nesbitt’s. Dunno why, but (at least to my nostalgic memory) it was the best.

Today’s orange Fanta is pretty good.

I will definitely try Sprite and Orange Juice! I’d never thought of that, and it sounds nice and breezy!

ETA: Coke and Orange Juice? It’s…counter-intuitive! I’ll give that a try too!
