Beenleigh – the name that’s been keeping Aussies properly hydrated (with rum, mostly) is back at it, firing the starter’s gun on summer with its latest concoction: Hard Orange Crush.
Forget your sad, weak, half-committed premixes. This one’s a proper 4.5% ABV, real-orange-juice-charged, ice-cold tribute to the glory days of Aussie soft drink – only now it comes with a grown-up twist that’ll get the party moving.
Remember those Sunnyboys you had to hack open with your teeth? Beenleigh’s channelled that exact vibe – minus the frostbite in your gums, plus a satisfying adult kick.
Hard Orange Crush is here to make sure your esky never has to carry anything boring again. It follows the riotous success of Beenleigh’s Pineapple Crush, which spent the last year proving Aussies will line up for a nostalgic hit of childhood flavour (with booze, obviously).
“After the success of Pineapple Crush, we saw an appetite for nostalgic flavours done well,” says Will Sullivan, Brand Manager at Beenleigh.
“Many premixes rely on novelty or overloaded sugar, but we wanted to deliver something that feels elevated - a drink with real flavour, real juice, and genuine replay value. Hard Orange Crush delivers exactly that.”
Beenleigh isn’t here to insult your tastebuds with chemical tang or syrupy overkill.
Hard Orange Crush is built on real Australian orange juice, delivering a bright, citrusy punch with an easy-going, slightly sweet palate that begs for lazy afternoons in the park, backyard barbies, house parties and those Sunday sessions that inevitably roll into Monday regrets.
TASTING NOTES
Aroma: Light and citrusy with notes of sherbet and soft fizz – the olfactory equivalent of summer holidays.
Palate: Smooth, bright and slightly sweet, with real juice and a gentle tang that keeps you coming back.
Finish: Clean, refreshing and lightly carbonated, with a crushable finish that suggests “just one more” is never enough.
