About the Hurricane
The Hurricane is a famous New Orleans rum cocktail traditionally associated with Pat O'Brien's. Developed during the 1940s, it became known for combining generous quantities of rum with passion fruit and citrus flavors. Served in the distinctive curved Hurricane glass, the drink is now closely associated with the cocktail culture of New Orleans.
What does a Hurricane taste like?
The Hurricane is fruity, tropical and full-bodied, with rich rum flavors balanced by tart citrus and fragrant passion fruit. Its sweetness is prominent but should remain balanced by enough acidity to keep the drink refreshing.
Tips for making a Hurricane
Use plenty of crushed ice and shake the ingredients well before serving. Keep the citrus component fresh and avoid excessive sweetness so that the rum and passion fruit remain clearly defined.
