Hurricane
The Hurricane was invented at Pat O’Brien’s in New Orleans. According to Shelly Waguespak, the president of the family-owned bar, the Hurricane was created due to a surplus of rum. In the 1940s, rum was easier to acquire than whiskey and other liquors, so Pat O’Brien’s began experimenting with the spirit, eventually landing on the Hurricane. The Hurricane is composed of two types of rum, lime juice, orange juice, passion fruit puree, grenadine and simple syrup.
