HURRICANE |
The
hurricane
is
an
extremely
sweet
alcoholic
drink
made
from
lime
juice,
passion
fruit
syrup
and
rum.
Hurricane
was
invented
during
the
World
War
II
at
Pat
O'Brien's
bar
in
New
Orleans.
In
the
1940s,
due
to
the
difficulties
in
importing
Scotch
during
World
War
II,
liquor
salesmen
forced
bar
owners
to
buy
up
to
50cases
of
their
much
more
abundant
rum
in
order
to
secure
a
single
case
of
good
Whiskey
or
Scotch.
The
barmen
at
Pat
O'Brien's
soon
came
up
with
an
alluring
recipe
to
clear
their
excess
surplus
of
rum.
When
they
decided
to
serve
it
in
a
tall,
jaunty
glass
shaped
like
a
hurricane
lamp,
the
cocktail
came
into
existence
with
the
name
Hurricane.
The
drink
is
a
mixture
of
sweet
juices
and
rum.
