Mardi Gras means “Fat Tuesday” in French. Mardi Gras has been celebrated since the Middle Age in Paris. Today, as much as 2 million people come to New Orleans, where some of the most famous cocktails were invented. A town with more than 3,000 bars, alcohol can be purchased every day of the week and there’s no closing laws on how late a bar can stay open in New Orleans. Celebrate Mardi Gras with the historical cocktails invented in New Orleans’ famous French Quarter!
The red fruity concoction was created during World War II when liquor such as whiskey was in low supply. In order to purchase just one case of these liquors, liquor salesmen forced bar owners to purchase as much as 50 cases of rum, which was plentiful. In an effort to use the abundance of rum that Pat O’Brien’s acquired, the recipe for the Hurricane evolved with the help of an eager liquor salesman. The name came soon after when a glass shaped like a hurricane lamp was used to serve the fruity rum cocktail.
