Hurricane

A rum-soaked New Orleans icon, the Hurricane stacks a blend of dark, white, and overproof rums over passion fruit syrup and bright lemon juice, finishing tart-sweet and deceptively strong. It was devised in the 1940s at Pat O'Brien's Bar in the French Quarter, where a wartime glut of rum needed somewhere to go and a hurricane-lamp-shaped glass gave the drink its name. Today it remains the city's defining tropical pour — fruity, garnet-red, and best sipped with caution.
