History & Origin

Orange Cream Soda is a non-alcoholic celebration of the orange creamsicle flavor — the combination of orange and vanilla cream that became one of America's most beloved frozen treat profiles through the Creamsicle popsicle. The tradition of orange-flavored carbonated beverages in America dates to at least the 1910s with Orange Crush (launched 1916) and Fanta (developed during WWII), but the cream soda variation adds a vanilla-cream element that transforms the simple citrus soda into something richer and more dessert-like. Crafted with fresh orange juice or quality orange syrup combined with a vanilla cream base and sparkling water, the result has layers that commercial orange sodas lack: the essential oils from fresh orange rind, the floral character of real vanilla, and the balance achieved by combining citrus brightness with dairy-like sweetness.
