The hurricane was born at French Quarter bar Pat O’Brien’s during World War II, when rum was far more plentiful than whiskey. With double the booze of your standard cocktail, cloying fruit juices, and healthy splashes of grenadine and simple syrup, the drink—named for its glass shaped like a hurricane lamp— appeals to the appetite of a younger crowd, particularly the ones carousing Bourbon Street at all hours. Here, LeBas uses lemon and soda to balance the sweetness of the classic.
