This refreshingly tempting and bright mixed drink is a modern invention from the 21st-century United States, created as a lively tribute to the iconic animated character 'Jessica Rabbit' from the 1988 film "Who Framed Roger Rabbit." Voiced by Kathleen Turner, her famous line, "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way," is often playfully associated with the drink.

This beverage is deeply rooted in pop culture, with its name and visual presentation serving as key inspirations. Many variations prefer using carrot juice to achieve a vivid orange-red hue. This mimics Jessica Rabbit's signature hair and provides a clever link to her husband, Roger Rabbit, in the animated series.
