The Hurricane cocktail is a vibrant and bold drink that originated in New Orleans in the 1940s. Named after the hurricane lamp-shaped glass in which it is served, this cocktail was initially created as a way to use up surplus rum during a whiskey shortage.

The Hurricane is a sweet and tangy mix of light and dark rum, passion fruit juice, orange juice, and grenadine, with a hint of lime for balance. Its tropical flavour and colourful presentation make it a classic choice for parties and warm-weather gatherings.
