Unfortunately we can only be in New Orleans in spirit today for Mardi Gras (we did have a stack of pancakes though). If you are lucky enough to be there, we totally wish we were you.
Yesterday we posted four of the classic cocktails of the Big Easy – today we add one more, the classic New Orleans Hurricane: a tall glass of awesome fruit flavours with the kick of 3 kinds of rum.
Laissez le Bon temp rouler, y’all!
Ingredients
- 1 oz dark rum
- 1 oz light rum
- 1 oz Baacardi 151 rum
- 3 oz orange juice
- 3 oz pineapple juice
- 1/2 oz grenadine
- orange zest twist
- maraschino cherry
Preparation
Combine all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake then strain into a tall glass (Hurricane glass preferred) filled with crushed ice. Garnish with an orange twist and a maraschino cherry.








And who are you supposed to be? Those are the words that ended last week’s episode of Mad Men. So, who are you supposed to be, really… are you the Don Draper, debonair Madison Avenue ad guy or Dick Whitman, unwanted son of a prostitute and hillbilly escapee. Betty knows, the other Mrs Draper knows, Bertam Cooper knows something – and thank goodness the increasingly vindictive Roger Sterling doesn’t know (yet).
