Mardi Gras is just around the corner and for those of us who live down south lots of us will probably head to New Orleans to celebrate and drink lots of hurricane’s. The hurricane is a rum based drink that was invented in the 1940’s in a New Orleans bar named Pat O’brien’s. During that time there was a shortage of whiskey so Pat O’brien’s took that opportunity to create the hurricane. I am going to show you how to make two versions. The first is the classic version that is similar to what you would have had in the 1940’s and the second is a modern New Orlean’s version like what Pat O’brien’s makes today.

Ingredients:
2 oz white rum
2 oz dark rum
2 oz passion fruit syrup
2 oz lemon juice
Directions:
- Mix together all ingredients in a tumbler with ice.
- Shake for 10 seconds.
- Poor into a hurricane glass filled with ice.
- Garnish and Enjoy!
