Hurricane Martini Recipe

Then, of course, the Hurricane Punch is the cocktail of New Orleans. Being from a small town, I was amazed when I visited New Orleans and found that you can buy cocktails on every street, like we have Slushy machines. You can publicly drink as long as the cocktail is in a plastic container. Get your mega-Hurricane cocktail and sightsee. There are plenty of sights to behold!

A Hurricane is a sweet, fruity cocktail with a lot of rum. It’s similar to a daiquiri and tastes like spiked Hawaiian punch. New Orleans bar owner Pat O’Brien developed the Hurricane to use his abundance of rum. He served them in hurricane lamp-shaped glasses; this cocktail caught on and has been a New Orleans favorite since the 1940s.

I wanted the same flavors but a more sophisticated feel for my martini. I used light and dark rum, orange juice, grenadine, and lemon in this martini and crowned it with an orange slice. You’ll enjoy this a Bahama Mama with similar flavors.
