How to make the Hurricane Cocktail, a rum-based classic New Orleans cocktail.
The Hurricane cocktail is said to have originated in New Orleans and became a popular drink in the 1940’s at Pat O’Brien’s tavern in NOLA. He created the heavy mix of dark and light rum as a means of getting ridding of less popular rums which he was forced to buy before he could get access to other liquor.
The Hurricane cocktail is named after the hurricane lamp-shaped glasses at the time in which it continues to be served.
