The Hurricane is a fun and festive cocktail that was invented at Pat O’Brien’s in New Orleans. It is a staple for Mardi Gras and though a bit gimmicky, it can be quite tasty and refreshing when made with fresh ingredients. Enjoy this as a cocktail or mocktail for your Mardi Gras celebration or anytime you want a refreshing drink this summer!
