Senators Clash Over Orange Crush Cocktail
Washington Post
In a lighthearted yet competitive setting, U.S. Senators gathered to settle an interstate rivalry over the origins of the Orange Crush cocktail. This vodka cocktail, originally invented at the Harbor Side Bar and Grill in Ocean City, Maryland, faced a challenge from Delaware. Delaware had recently passed a bill declaring the Orange Crush as their official state cocktail, claiming it was perfected in their state. Maryland's Senator Cardan and Delaware's Senator Coons each presented their own versions of the drink for judgment by a panel including a Washington Post judge, Emily H. Senator Cardan from Maryland emerged victorious with a pristine and restaurant-quality Orange Crush, while Senator Coons' version was less impressive. Despite Maryland winning the taste test, Delaware maintains legal recognition of the cocktail as their state drink, leaving Maryland's honor preserved in spirit.
