FRIDAY COCKTAIL - HURRICANE FOR MICHELLE


Here we are...in Maine...waiting for EARL. Michelle wants a great Friday cocktail delivered to her on Beacon Street...what better than the original Hurricane! (and no I am not delivering)
The Hurricane was invented during World War II at Pat O'Brien's in New Orleans and was named after the shape of a hurricane lamp. Pat O'Brien's is still open today in New Orleans' famous French Quarters and they sell their original Hurricane cocktail mix at the bar. You can also buy a hurricane cocktail at Pat O'Brien's and walk Bourbon Street with it and take it into other bars up and down the French Quarter. Hurricanes are the drink of choice during Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Dave has had a few of these at Pat O'B's!!!!!
Her we go with the original recipe at Pat O'B's!!!!!
4 oz dark rum
4 oz passion fruit syrup
1 oz fresh lemon juice
an orange slice, lime wedge and a maraschino cherry
crushed ice
mix in a shaker...pour in a hurricane glass...serve with a straw!
WAITING FOR EARL WITH MICHELLE
ENJOY!
