Hurricane Cocktail Recipe
The Hurricane is arguably the go-to cocktail for Mardi Gras revelers. The version most of us are familiar with is usually a conglomeration of low-end booze and a red powdered mystery mix, but it’s possible to elevate this French Quarter favorite with a quality rum and some fresh ingredients.
Pro tip: Batch this cocktail in advance for easy party prep. Simply multiply the ingredients by the number of desired servings, stir in a large pitcher filled with ice, strain into a new pitcher and refrigerate until ready to use.
