Whether you&#8217;re playing bartender on the back patio or sipping on a freshly squeezed crush at your favorite Dewey Beach bar, a classic orange crush is synonymous with summer.\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Orange crushes can be made many different ways, but the main ingredients are fresh squeezed oranges, triple sec, vodka, and sprite. Mouthwatering right? Then how about a few of the\u00a0best\u00a0local spots for\u00a0finding the crushes:<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/weocharborside.com\/\">Harborside (West Ocean City, Maryland)<\/a><br \/>\nIt stands to reason that the\u00a0best orange crush is found where they originated. Harborside, a rustic waterfront bar and restaurant, is the official home of the orange crush. Located in nearby West Ocean City Maryland, Harborside is the perfect\u00a0place to kick back, relax, and sip on a cool orange crush while overlooking the\u00a0harbor.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thestarboard.com\/\">Starboard (Dewey Beach, Delaware)<\/a><br \/>\nIf you want to avoid the travel time and stay centrally located at the Delaware beaches, the next stop has to be\u00a0to Dewey Beach. Of course I&#8217;m talking about the notorious local hot spot, The Starboard.\u00a0Although The Starboard is\u00a0not the true home of the orange crush, they put up a good fight. In my opinion, The Starboard has the best orange crushes in Delaware, but I admittedly like to mix it up and grab a grapefruit crush from time to time.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bottleandcorkdewey.com\/\">Bottle and Cork (Dewey Beach, Delaware)<\/a><br \/>\nIf you want some live music with your orange crush, the Bottle and Cork is your spot. Almost every night of\u00a0the week the Bottle and Cork serves up live music. Plus,\u00a0every Saturday they host a Saturday Jam starting at 5pm where bands play until close. Live music and a fresh orange crush? That&#8217;s the life.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.crookedhammockbrewery.com\/\">Crooked Hammock (Lewes, Delaware)<\/a><br \/>\nIf you\u2019re looking for the backyard bar-b-que scene, the Crooked Hammock is the place to be. From their menu, to their outside seating and hammocks, to their corn hole boards and playground, the Crooked Hammock is a great place to bring the kids and relax. Not only to they serve great orange crushes but they serve their very own craft beers.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.paradiseislandde.com\/\">Paradise Grill (Millsboro, DE)<\/a><br \/>\nParadise Grill has quickly grown to be a local favorite with its waterfront dining and live entertainment on the Indian River Bay. Sink your feet in the sand and enjoy one of the five bars Paradise offers. Not a sand person? No problem, choose from three bars on the patio and enjoy an\u00a0ice cold orange crush.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mangosbethany.com\/\">Mango\u2019s (Bethany Beach, Delaware)<\/a><br \/>\nAnd for our Bethany Beach friends &#8211; Mango&#8217;s of course! Mango\u2019s is the vacation from a vacation. Perfectly situated oceanfront in Bethany, enjoy the Caribbean-themed restaurant and &#8216;no shower&#8217; happy hour from 1-6pm daily, which includes $6 orange crushes and $3 Bud Light bottles.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nAnd for those of you that want to experience a taste of an orange crush in the comfort of your own kitchen&#8230;<br \/>\n<strong>INGREDIENTS<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Serving: 1<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 ounces\u2019 orange vodka, preferably Smirnoff<\/li>\n<li>2 ounces triple sec, preferably La Quinta<\/li>\n<li>juice of one orange<\/li>\n<li>lemon-lime soda, to top, preferably Sierra Mist<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>DIRECTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Combine vodka and triple sec in a pint glass with ice.<\/li>\n<li>Fresh-squeezed orange juice directly into glass.<\/li>\n<li>Top with a splash of lemon-lime soda and drink immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beach living carries many perks along with it\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0there&#8217;s the laid back lifestyle, the access to our beautiful beaches and bays, the fresh, local cuisine\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0but what we really love on these HOT summer days are the local cocktails that go hand-and-hand with beach living.
