The term orange drink refers to a sweet, sugary, sometimes carbonated, orange-flavored drink.
Typically such beverages contain little or no orange juice and are mainly composed of water, sugar or sweeteners, flavor, coloring, and additives. Although many orange drinks are fortified with Vitamin C, they are typically very low in nutritional value. Nagourney, Eric.

In the United States, as orange drinks can be confused with orange juice, the Food and Drug Administration 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.U.S. House of Representatives: "[http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~lrd/CF102-33.HTML Requirements for Specific Nonstandardized Foods] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081203120805/http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~lrd/CF102-33.HTML |date=2008-12-03 }}," Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Pt. 102, Subpart B., Sec. 102.33. Washington: Government Printing Office, 2001. (CITE: 21CFR102.33). and requires companies to state them as orange drinks instead of orange juice.
