As you may know I don’t typically recreate drinks from Pop Culture, for some reason it just doesn’t really do well on this channel. But when I am moved to do it, I like to try my hand a creating my own version of the drink and the challenge is always to keep the original intent behind the drink intact while (hopefully) elevating the experience of it. Making this drink was a LOT of fun and it’s inspired me to do more of these, so stay tuned for them in the coming months.
Two Events Lead me to the creation of this drink. The First one was a mistake by the Official Blues Brothers Instagram account. They reposted a clip of Greg from How To Drink making an Orange Whip but credited it to me. The second was a conversation I had with my friend Eric who I had just met and we were talking about Haitian Rum and Clarin and how amazing it was. As I was having this conversation with him it all just came together in my mind….Orange….Vodka….Rum….Cream….I have to make an Orange Whip! And it has to be with Haitian Rum!!! Yes! I got it! So! This video is dedicated to Eric and the Official Blues Brothers! Thanks for the Inspiration, hopefully I came up with a recipe that is fun to make and delicious while keeping the spirit of the Late Great John Candy Alive!
Truth be told this is a little bit of a strange video. We had to edit in a different way because the technique of actually creating the drink is a bit involved. So for those who crave very easy to make cocktails, I’m sorry, but I hope you take the time to do this one, You will not be disappointed if you do!
