Growing up, orange creamsicles were my absolute favorite treat! You remember them, right? It was an orange popsicle with vanilla ice cream in the center. If you’ve never had one…put down your phone, head to the nearest convenience store, and get one. So when we heard about the Orange Whip co*cktail, I was all in.
The orange whip is straight out of the 1980’s film, The Blues Brothers, and it’s basically an orange Julius with booze. So naturally, it’s amazing.

In any case, it’s really good. So here you go:
