Maryland has a state song, a state bird, even a state cat. Now, efforts are underway to add a state cocktail to the list.  Delegate Wayne Hartman of Worcester County has introduced a bill in Annapolis to make the Orange Crush the official state adult beverage.  Hartman says the drink containing orange juice, vodka, triple sec and other ingredients originated at the Harborside Bar and Grill in Ocean City in 1995.  The Maryland Tourism Coalition has voiced support for the designation.
