The Hurricane cocktail is a vibrant and fruity drink that originated in New Orleans, a city known for its lively culture and rich history. It was invented during World War II at the famous Pat O’Brien’s Bar when rum was more accessible than whiskey. This sweet, tangy cocktail is perfect for sipping on warm days or serving at parties, thanks to its bold flavors of passion fruit, citrus, and rum. Whether you’re celebrating Mardi Gras or simply enjoying a tropical twist at home, the Hurricane offers a taste of New Orleans in every glass.
