New Orleans Hurricane

 

Sources say the fruity red concoction was created during World War II at world famous Pat O'Briens in New Orleans when liquor such as whiskey was in low supply.  The name came soon after when a glass shaped like a hurricane lamp was used to serve the sweet, fruity rum cocktail.
