  An orange whip is a sweet cocktail made with rum, vodka, cream and orange juice. It is typically blended to a froth like a milkshake, and poured over ice in a Collins glass.
  
  ## Other drinks
  
  "Orange Whip" has also been used as brand name for non-alcoholic drinks. In the 1950s, the Tropical Fruit Company marketed an "Orange Whip" concentrate to be served as a fountain beverage. Jeanne Carmen, an actress and pinup model from that period, was once dubbed "Miss Orange Whip". The US Patent and Trademark Office lists various applications for the "Orange Whip" trademark to be applied to drinks and a chain of juice stores.
  
  ## Cultural references
  
  ### The Blues Brothers
  
  The drink had a resurgence after the release of The Blues Brothers. In the film, Jake's parole officer, Detective Burton Mercer (John Candy), attends the film's pivotal fund-raising concert in order to arrest Jake and Elwood. However, Mercer decides he wants to see them perform first and orders drinks for himself and the uniformed state troopers he is with, getting silence in response after saying: "Who wants an orange whip? Orange whip? Orange whip? Three orange whips!"
  
  The drink was not in the original script. Kenny Dugan, Orange Whip's sales director at the time, had been providing refreshments for the cast and asked if his product could be mentioned in the film. Director John Landis mentioned this to Candy, who improvised the exchange.
