Hurricane Cocktail

Hurricane Cocktail

The Hurricane cocktail is a vibrant and tropical drink that transports you straight to the lively streets of New Orleans. Known for its sweet and fruity flavor, this cocktail combines the richness of rum with the tangy notes of fresh fruit juices and a splash of grenadine, creating a sunset-hued delight that is perfect for any festive occasion. With its origins dating back to the 1940s, the Hurricane was created to help local distilleries sell more rum and has since become a signature drink of Mardi Gras celebrations.
