History

A 1970s cocktail that became popular after featuring in The Blues Brothers film, released in 1980. In the film, a paroled convict, Jake Blues (John Belushi) and his brother Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) are about to appear on stage for their concert to raise funds to prevent the foreclosure of the Roman Catholic orphanage they grew up in. "A mission from God." Tension builds as the venue is surrounded by police who look set to arrest the brothers before the concert begins. However, Jake's parole officer, Detective Burton Mercer (John Candy), is keen to see the concert before arresting Jake, so makes himself comfortable at a table, ordering drinks for himself and two uniformed state troopers sat with him, "Who wants an orange whip? Orange whip? Orange whip? Three orange whips!"

So much fun...who could possibly resist? We used cane instead of sugar syrup, to complement the rum.

¼ barspoon of xanthan gum?
If you are lucky enough, like me, to own an Easy Jigger, and the author was referring to an 'American barspoon,' then you can measure 1/24 ounce.

If a Barspoon = 5 ml
then ¼ Barspoon = 1.25 ml = 0.042 oz (approx 1/24 oz)

If a Barspoon = 2.5 ml
then ¼ Barspoon = 0.625 ml = 0.0211 oz (approx 1/48 oz)

If a Barspoon = 2.4 ml = 1/8 oz
then ¼ Barspoon = 0.6 ml = 0.02 oz (approx 1/50 oz)

I made this using Mount Gay rum and Cointreau. I love the rum and sour/sweet orange notes. I was pleased to find a use for my tub of xantham gum! It is a truly delicious cocktail and I will gladly add it to my repertoire.

OMG. However did I miss this? The Dreamsicle was my favorite frozen treat as a kid. I'd been making cocktail versions, the simplest being a screwdriver with added Licor 43 (vanilla) and cream... But whirling this up--fluffed with the texture of xanthan gum--creates perfection. Thanks!
