New Orleans Hurricane Drink
If you’ve ever strolled around the French Quarter, chances are you’ve tried a hurricane before – no matter what time of day or night it was! This iced, fruity, rum based cocktail is a NOLA staple, and no trip to Bourbon Street is ever complete without a tall glass of this vibrant drink. A hurricane can really be described as a party in a glass, so proceed with caution! There are 2 ounces of dark rum, 2 ounces of light rum, and a splash of triple sec in each glass that will help you understand why they call it’s home The Big Easy. With that being said, it’s smooth and sweet as can be! No need to travel all the way to New Orleans for Mardi Gras this year! Slice up the king cake and shake up a hurricane from the comfort of your own kitchen. Beads not included!
