Hurricane
The 'Hurricane' is a vibrant, fruit-forward cocktail, not a food dish, originating in New Orleans and famously associated with Pat O'Brien's bar. It's typically made with rum, passion fruit syrup, and citrus juices, often served in a distinctive hurricane lamp-shaped glass. The drink is a staple of the French Quarter and is known for its sweet, potent, and refreshing character.
