Though it may seem like it's over, Hurricane Season won't officially end until November 30. With only a few days left, I thought it would be a good time to get in a post about the Hurricane. I know where you think this is going, but it's not. Today we're going to talk about that other Hurricane - the sweet drink from the Big Easy. So named, cause it will knock you on your ass, like the storm.
There's lots of different recipes for a Hurricane, but I won't debate that here. Mostly, because there is no debate. The best Hurricane is at Pat O'Briens in the French Quarter. Bar none. End of story. Everything else is more or less a sugary Crappicane.
The storm and the drink have more than a name in common - they both have 5 categories.
Why don't we call this the Pat O'Briens scale.
Category 1 - The excitement begins. Things aren't too bad, in fact, they are a little breezy.
Category 2 - Things begin to pick up. The lights start to flicker a little and you maybe can't stand up straight with all that wind.
Category 3 - The wind picks up major. Things are beginning to spin around.
Category 4 - Uh oh. Couldn't make it to the bathroom, and your basement is flooded.
Category 5 - Total Blackout. Everything that was on the inside is blown to the outside.
Hurricanes can be dangerous, kids. But, as long as you know your limits and learn the categories, you can get away with a lot of fun and a little damage.
Ya'll come back now ya hear?
