New Orleans Inspired: Hurricane Cocktail Recipe
It’s been a while since I was out on the road, so I’ve been reminiscing about some of my favorite trips. I’m the kind of girl who doesn’t mind throwing the dirty clothes in my suitcase into a mound in my room, refilling said suitcase, and heading back out again. Traveling is my jam and most of my trips have been such great adventures! In fact, if you follow Take Time for Style on Instagram, you probably already know how important travel is to us…
One of our favorite cities to visit is New Orleans. After 5 days in the Big Easy a few years back, I definitely left feeling inspired by the unique culture, food and fun this historic city has to offer! Plus, the people in New Orleans are just so warm and good natured. They really want you to feel at home in their city and I so appreciate that!
The Best New Orleans Drink
I may have tried to fully assimilate and adopt one of the local drinks as my own. Haha! I probably had one too many Hurricanes while I was there. Sorry not sorry! I’m a sucker for a good cocktail and the Hurricane just tastes like vacation. I don’t know about you friends, but what I eat and drink on vacation affects how good a time I have. The foodie in me lives for good food and cocktails. And New Orleans definitely doesn’t disappoint in either of those areas.
Supposedly the Hurricane cocktail recipe was created in the 1940’s at what is now Pat O’Briens. These tasty bevs typically come in fun hurricane lamp shaped glasses (hence the name) and are not to be missed while in New Orleans. They are pretty sweet, and powerful to boot, so one or two tops is feels like the perfect amount to indulge in on a hot sticky night.
And since they were my favorite drink to enjoy while I was on my trip, I decided to whip up a batch of my own Hurricane cocktail at home. The color didn’t turn out quite as red as what I was served in NOLA, but they tasted just the same! That’s all that counts right? YUM!
