In this episode of Cocktail Underground, I am joining forces with Gnome from Gnome's Tavern and several other cocktail creators for a special collaboration. We are focusing our attention on the Orange Whip cocktail, a drink with a cult following thanks to its pop culture roots. Whether you are a fan of the film or just looking for a new drink to add to your rotation, this breakdown covers the essentials of this creamy, citrus-forward classic.
Since the movie turns 46 on June 20th, I am preparing for our upcoming livestream by finally watching the film. This video serves as the perfect primer for anyone curious about the history and flavor profile of the Orange Whip cocktail. I will walk you through the preparation so you can mix it at home right alongside us.
