(I did this for a friend’s wedding when her celebration had to be relocated due to an actual Hurricane.) This recipe is easily scalable because you simply need equal parts of each ingredient, so you can easily multiply it for a crowd and serve up a few pitchers. Sweet, light and refreshing, this fruity cocktail is an amazing drink to serve on hot summer days or when celebrating Mardi Gras.
However, I much prefer to mix up my own so I have control over the flavor. Sometimes you can find bottled hurricane mix at the grocery store, such as Bacardí Ready-to-Serve Hurricane mix, which you then add to a base of bacardí rum. This classic recipe for a Hurricane contains two kinds of Caribbean rum, lemon juice and passion fruit syrup. (I‘ve done it and recommend it once!) Hurricanes are available at pretty much any New Orleans bar, too. In the 1940s, Caribbean rum was more readily available than European whiskey, thanks to the raging war abroad, and owner Pat O’Brien served up this cocktail.Įven today, you can still visit Pat O’s for a Hurricane and an evening caught in between dueling piano bars playing tourists’ song requests. While there is debate as to whether the cocktail was invented at New York’s Hurricane Club or New Orleans’ Pat O’Brien’s Bar, most would probably agree the drink was popularized at the latter. Popular in New Orleans, this refreshing, fruity cocktail is loved all year long, especially during Mardi Gras celebrations and to beat the humid Louisiana summer heat. It gets its name from the billowy shape of the glass, known as the Hurricane glass due to its similarity to the old-fashioned, gas hurricane lamp. Some recipes also include orange juice and grenadine syrup.
