Beenleigh Launches Hard Orange Crush
The adult Sunnyboy
Beenleigh, the grand old dame of Australian distilling, keeping us all upright since 1884, is celebrating summer with a brand-new citrusy star, Hard Orange Crush. It’s fizzy, it’s fruity, it’s 4.5% grown-up fun in a can.
Inspired by the flavours you loved as a kid (yes, we’re talking Sunnyboys, Zooper Doopers, and that weird orange cordial your aunt still swears by), Hard Orange Crush takes all that nostalgic joy and gives it an adult twist. Think less school canteen, more Sunday session bright, refreshing, and just a little bit cheeky.
Beenleigh’s Pineapple Crush
Following the runaway success of Beenleigh’s Pineapple Crush (one of the top-selling ready-to-drinks last year, because apparently Australians never got over their Year 7 tuckshop), Hard Orange Crush is here to make the esky sparkle all over again.
“We wanted to create something that feels fun but also genuinely delicious,” says Will Sullivan, Beenleigh’s Brand Manager. “Lots of premixes go heavy on sugar or novelty. Hard Orange Crush is about real juice, a crisp finish, and a flavour you’ll want to keep coming back to.”
And that’s the magic, it’s the kind of drink that slips effortlessly into every occasion. Whether it’s a lazy arvo at the park, a house party where no one remembers whose Bluetooth speaker is whose, or just a well-earned Friday knock-off, Hard Orange Crush was basically invented to be passed around.
Tasting Notes for Beenleigh’s Hard Orange Crush
- Aroma: A light, citrusy fizz that feels like summer in a glass.
- Palate: Smooth, bright, slightly sweet, with a little tang to keep you on your toes.
- Finish: Clean, refreshing, and as the name suggests crushable.
Beenleigh Hard Orange Crush is available now at Dan Murphy’s and all the good indie bottle shops where the staff know your order before you even ask.
About Beenleigh
Australia’s oldest operating distillery, Beenleigh has been at it since 1884 long before Instagram, espresso martinis, or even sliced bread. From its original stone building and copper pot still, the brand has grown into one of the most trusted names in Australian spirits, with a heritage built on craftsmanship, quality, and the occasional brilliant idea involving fruit juice and a splash of fizz.
