It's a New Orleans traditional cocktail for visitors to the French Quarter. Hurricane rum cocktails were created at Pat O'Brien's bar during WWII. With a whiskey shortage, rum was king! The glasses Hurricanes area served in resembles a hurricane lamp, hence the name.
Makes 1 large drink or 2 small ones.
Ingredients
2 oz. light rum
2 oz. dark rum

orange and lime slices, and cherries for garnish
