Home > Orange drink
The term orange drink (not to be confused with orange soda; see below) refers to a sweet, sugary drink named for its orange color. Typically such beverages contain little to no orange juice and are not much more than water, sugar, flavor, coloring, and additives, sometimes in that order. As such, they are very low in nutritional value. Because orange drinks can be confused with orange juice, the U.S. government requires orange drinks, as well as other beverages whose names allude to fruit products, to state the percentage of juice contained above the "Nutrition Facts" label. Popular orange drinks include Sunny Delight, Tang, and orange squash (drink). Orange Julius is a mixture of orange drink, a dairy product, and raw egg (the recipe is "secret"), sold at Orange Julius stands in malls and similar venues. There is also a product named Orange Drink and marketed by the Dairy Maid company on the caribbean island of Nassau.

Orange sodas (especially those without orange juice) often contain very high levels of sodium benzoate, and this often imparts a slight metallic taste to the beverage. Other additives commonly found in orange sodas include rosin and sodium hexametaphosphate.
