Did I run out of numbers before I got to a Hurricane?? Let's pretend like I didn't.
Of all the things you cannot skip on a trip to New Orleans, a Pat O'Briens Hurricane is on the list up there with Cafe Du Monde beignets and Red Beans & Rice.
- 2 oz light rum
- 2 oz dark rum
- 2 oz passion fruit juice
- 1 oz orange juice
- juice of a half a lime
- 1 Tbsp simple syrup
- 1 Tbsp grenadine
- orange slice and cherry for garnish
Hope your weekend is fantastic. And if you can't visit NOLA, try one of these drinks at home and you can pretend like you're here!
XOXO,
Jen

Yummm, that Hurricane looks fantastic! From your jealous vacation deprived co-blogger, HAPPY FRIDAY!!! ;) Can't wait to see the photos! (Don't forget the artsy fartsy one of the New Orleans itself!) ♥
I never was a fan of the Sazerac, or an Old Fashion, probably thos bitters...good list though.
Yummmm...so wish I was there. But maybe if I make one of these and sit on my couch with a good book I will feel better about missing out! =)
I blame those Hurricanes for making me not remember one single think about my last visit to NOLA. I remember arriving in the city with my friends and walking into Pat's and order one Hurricane. I remember nothing after having my third glass. I swear it was like I was just drinking Kool Aid.
Thanks for the Ramoz Frizz recipe. I love gin so I'll have to try that one out.
