Where it comes from
Pat O'Brien's in New Orleans created the Hurricane in the 1940s, reportedly to move rum that wartime distributors made bars buy before they could get whiskey, and served it in a glass shaped like a hurricane lamp. Jeff Berry's research recovered the simple three-ingredient original.
