The Hurricane cocktail is a signature drink of New Orleans and Mardi Gras. The drink was invented by Pat O'Brien's bar (great website) in New Orleans during World War II and was named after the shape of the hurricane lamp. It's also served in a glass that resembles the hurricane lamp. Pat O'Brien's is still open today in the French Quarter. It has an awesome courtyard. To make this cocktail you can use a Pat O'Brien's mix and just add rum and crushed ice or here are the ingredients.
