Just as the East Coast and Mexico get buffeted by storms this week, we bring you one of the classic drinks on the menu at predictably popular new Mission hang, Hog & Rocks (3431 19th Street). Hog & Rocks' signature drink was originally the signature of New Orleans bar Pat O'Brien's. Served in a special hurricane lamp glass, the drink was first created during World War II when whiskey was in low supply and bar owners had to order large amounts of rum in order to get their ration of whiskey. Bar manager Christine D'Abrosca enjoys honoring New Orleans's history with this drink, and the bar donates $1 from every Hurricane sold to the Greater New Orleans Foundation’s Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund.
The Hurricane
2 oz. Coruba Rum
2 oz. lemon juice
2 oz. passion fruit syrup (equal parts simple syrup and Funkin passion fruit puree)
Quick blend for three seconds. Add all ingredients into a "hurricane" glass and serve up with a lemon wedge with a parasol turned inside out.
