Everybody hang on cause Cyndi is back with her last Mardi Gras recipe for us. This time think drink.
Here is her recipe for a Hurricane
The Hurricane became popular at Pat O’Briens bar in 1940′s New Orleans, apparently debuted at the 1939 World’s Fair and was named after the hurricane lamp-shaped glasses the first drinks were served in. It’s said that O’Brien created the heavily rummed drink as a means to get rid of the large stock of rum his Southern distributors forced him to buy.
