And an “open” container can be held in a locked glove compartment or if stored in another spot int the car where the driver has no access. There are drive-through daiquiri restaurants in Louisiana. This is further supported by the fact that it was Culligan who first published the recipe in Cabaret Magazine in 1956.Īlso a note on something I say in this video so all the people in New Orleans on’t go crazy in the comments: It is illegal to drink and drive New Orleans and it is also illegal to have an open container. More likely the owners tasked Culligan to come up with a drink to help use up their copious supply of rum. Although I have no proof that this is true, I will say that in all my years working behind a bar I have yet to meet an owner who has created any cocktails. Some reports have said that it was the Head Bartender Louis Culligan who actually created the drink’s recipe and to me that’s the more likely story. Because of this supply problem it lead to spirits distributors to require a bar to order multiple cases of rum to get just one case of Whiskey, a practice many in the bar industry are familiar with if you’ve ever tried to get your hands on Pappy Van Winkle. At the time Whiskey, Gin and Cognac were in short supply but we (as a country) had a surplus of Rum. The most likely story is that it was created at Pat O’Brien’s Bar in New Orleans in the mid 1940’s just after the end of WWII. Not much in known about that drink other than it was made with Rum and served in a Hurricane Glass, and truth be told, I couldn’t find any actual evidence of that story being true. If you liked this Hurricane cocktail, you may enjoy these other mixed drinks.The Hurricane was said to have been first served at the World’s Fair in 1939. Serve over crushed ice in hurricane glasses and garnish with orange slices, pineapple slices and maraschino cherries. Mix all ingredients in a large pitcher and stir well.
