How to Make a Hurricane - a New Orleans classic
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 พ.ค. 2024
- Today I'm showing you how to make a Hurricane! The cocktail, not the tropical storm. There are numerous variations of the Hurricane, so today I'm making two versions. The first I'm going to show you is my go-to recipe. It's equal parts and excellent! The second version is closer to what you'll find at Pat O'Brien's in New Orleans. It seemed appropriate with Pat O'Brien's being the home of the Hurricane. Neither of these recipes have the iconic bright red color, but the natural flavors speak for themselves. I'm considering another Hurricane video down the road where I use fassionola syrup (a long forgotten tiki ingredient) - so let me know if this would be of interest. In the meantime, enjoy these two Hurricanes and see which recipe you prefer! Cheers!

As a 22-year-old, this is now my Friday morning cartoon. Cheers!
Love this. lol
bro get the point
I really fell in love with this show after finishing my bartending training at work. Anders has perfected the delivery of an old style, there are lots of cooking and bartending shows out there but none as interesting and engaging.
YES PLEASE Anders! More syrup videos! Take care!
+1 on this!
Thank you! Can you do a minimalist tiki vid? Intro to tiki? Tiki for the newbie? How-to-tiki? I’ll stop, you get it 🌺 Great videos!
One of the absolute worst hangovers of my life was after a long night of drinking hurricanes during Mardi Gras in 1995. But it was a great night! Thanks for excellent videos! I've become a fan.
When I visited New Orleans 20+ years ago, our French Quarter hotel had a bar, and Louis the bartender made a wickedly delicious hurricane that knocked us for a loop! 5 different kinds of rum, and bright red - so yummy!
Your history section is always so well developed, interesting, and presented. Keep up the good work! Cheers!
Thank for that - Cheers!🍹
An equal parts recipe, following the Last Word formula? Brilliant! I've already got it memorized, and the passion fruit in my backyard is still going off...
Bartender from Raleigh here! Been bartending for about 2 months. I made a cocktail for Valentine’s Day, I’m really proud of it
1.5 oz vodka
3/4 oz guava Campari
(1 to 1 guava juice and Campari)
3/4 oz simple syrup
1/2 oz lemon juice
Just under 1/4 oz of egg white
Pour into a Nick and Nora over a luxardo cherry
On the foam make a bitters heart and grate a stick of cinnamon over the top
I call it “The tunnel of love”
Do it!! Fassionola here we come!!
Ayyyy! Love the Door County Brewing hat! Love that place.
You hit it out of the ballpark, yet again
Fassionola recipe? Yes please!
Dude, found some Smith and Cross, made the #1 for my family…. It’s just so good. The passion fruit, the tart lemon, that overripe mango funk from the S&C. What a fantastic drink. Thank you sir.
Might be a little late to the party, but the HtD outro music didn't go unnoticed! Nice Easter Egg and great video!
Happy Mardi Gras, Anders! Come back down some time! ⚜️
Really appreciate the metric system recipes, they are more precise
So at a Bar & Grill I worked at in the early 90s into the 00's, we would actually celebrate Mardi Gras with Gumbos, Étouffée, King Cake, Crayfish, and Hurricanes. Our version was 1 oz of Bacardi White, 1 oz of Bacardi Amber, 1 oz of Myers Dark, 1 oz of Bacardi 151, and we would then fill with the Pat O'Briens Mix. This would all go into the 20 oz Hurricane glasses we kept for this reason. Seeing you make this, Anders brings back memories.
Sounds like my kind of party. Cheers, Ryan!🍹
Love the Dylan reference!
Smith & Cross is magical! That's why it won! haha! ... that looks like a hurricane recipe I can get behind! cheers!
Haha you're not wrong! Thanks, Rob! Cheers!
I'm a simple man, I see rum drinks, instant click and like! In all seriousness. There's just something about this drink that's just so good!
Yes! Make Fassionola and other syrups like that
I love Pat O’Briens! When I lived in NOLA we went regularly for the dueling pianos. They make a drink called a Cyclone also. It tastes just like the baby aspirin we took as children. I really liked it.
Love the Door County Wisconsin hat.
I very much appreciate this channel.
As an aspiring tiki-head, I would absolutely love to hear more about your Fassionola recipe!!!
Anders , you and Az both getting the word in is great. If she likes then get her on your videos, she is such a joy!
Yes! Love seeing Door County Brewing Co. Represented in the video! WI expat here who’s really become a fan of your channel lately!
Door County Brewing! Great spot. Great hat.
After trying a horrific Hurricane, I tried your recipe using these 2 exact rums - and I have to say, once again, your recipe is just fantastic! The passion fruit syrup goes so well with S&C, which I usually find "hard" to drink on its own or in other cocktails. Thank you once again for a fantastic recipe!
Wow wow wee wow. Check out that HTD music coming in late. Love it
I believe, though I have no proof, that the hurricane being served currently at Pat O’Brien’s is not the same as when I lived in NOLA, many many years ago. The one I had there about 3 years ago was so sickly sweet it reminded me of cough syrup. I couldn’t drink it. I’m eager to try your version. Hurricanes, literal and drinkable, are part of living on the Gulf Coast. 🌴🌊🌬
Proper hurricane glasses will arrive tomorrow, I already got a bottle of amazing passion fruit syrup so almost time to try Anders recipe.
A couple ideas I haven’t seen made on any channel. Alabama slammer, sloe comfortable screw and it’s variants I.e up against the wall, cold hard wall etc.
Good call - will keep that in mind. Cheers!
Hey, you tried more from the Liber & Co catalog! They make great syrups, and a Hurricane is one of my favorite uses for their passion fruit syrup. I use Plantation 3 Stars and Coruba for my rum blend. Great video Anders!
I've been looking for Coruba! Currently can't seem to find it near me. I imagine your Hurricane is excellent! And I'm with you on Liber & Co. - so far I've been really impressed with every syrup I've tried. Cheers!
@@AndersErickson I'm having to be careful with my Coruba as I seemingly bought the last bottle in the DFW metroplex. But if you're ever in the San Antonio area there's supposedly a Spec's that keeps Coruba in stock.
I can buy it at a local grocery store. I'm gonna go buy them out tomorrow.
Anders! Thank you! I am a great cocktail enthusiast. ( I even met Dale DeGroff once. ) currently I am recovering from a stroke (lived) watching you helps my memory. Keep mixing! Thanks!
It ain't a New Orleans cocktail if it isn't red, made with a million ingredients and packing a serious punch! 😂 Great one, loved this episode!! Cheers A&A! 🍹
Haha fair enough. Cheers, Dimitar!🍹
I’m here for the wind-blown umbrellas.
And for Az and her humble opinion.
Cheers!
Did a round of hurricanes based on Liber & Co's bottle recipe recently, and they are quite good! Not terribly different from your go to. We found them enjoyable by splitting the juice half oz lemon, half oz pineapple!
Yesssssssssss!!! I'm number 9!!!
Thanks, Tim!!!🍹
I'm having a Mardi Gras themed dinner with friends tomorrow night and I wanted to serve this (Anders' version). I had to do a test run for myself tonight. It's only prudent.
As someone who, in the past, mostly drank different Bacardi rums or Meyer's rum, my horizons have been expanded! So grateful I found this channel and I'm telling all my friends about it. Salud!
LOL. Just got "off the ski slopes in Tahoe" and can't wait to get home to make a Tiki type drink! Yahooo!!
Great video as always! Will give your recipe a try.
I have loved watching the channel come along, great work guys🤗🥂
One of my favorite channels. You rock!
Awesome video. I’ve always seen cocktails like the Hurricane and a Rum Runner just as a over sweet cheap get hammered cocktail. This one looks amazing now. Will definitely be adding this to the home bar this summer. Thanks for the great content
Definitely do one with the fassionola!
This channel has become my happy place, love watching all your videos and my cocktail game has had a big improvement. Thankyou anders
will be trying both variations out. Thanks, Anders. :)
I would love to see you make some Fassionola.
I had never heard of fasshionola so yeah I'd like to see how to make it. Great video as usual.
Another great video! I mentioned BG Reynolds before, he does a Fassionola syrup and he also put out a recipe for a "Fassionola Zombie" which actually is very close to your hurricane #1. It's been one of my favorite rum cocktails for awhile now. I''m just loving your videos, keep them coming!
I love this channel so much. I'm not even drinking right now (taking a break) but that hasn't stopped me from subscribing and watching every single video. Cheers! ❤
I was there this weekend and had one
Hey Anders- I made the first version last night, and thought it was really delicious! I've made this drink in the past with different ingredients, and didn't really like it that much. You always manage to make a drink taste good with your recipe specs. I wish I could get to the point where I would know what types of spirits work best in a particular drink. I have a hard enough time remembering what I have already tried and enjoyed. Thank you so much for making these videos.
Your first recipe has been my go-to for a few months now. 50/50 blend of Doorly's 8 year and Hamilton 114, best hurricane I've ever made. Thanks for putting me onto it!
The Hurricane is one of my favorites!
Love the channel. Keep it up, Anders!
i really like how you set this out. no rambling and can skip to where i need to be. brilliant video, look forward to making. thanks!!
Would love a fassionola video!
Great Video I learned a lot. Most Drink related videos emphasis on entertainment and less educating. So I appreciate it very much
Yes, please, to the Fassionola vid. Thanks, Anders!
Always wanted a good hurricane recipe! loved the HTD nod ;)
Yes, yes, a thousand times YES! Thank you both!
Cheers, Lea!! Happy weekend!🍹
Perfect. Now I have another way to use all the rum you've convinced me to buy... cheers.
Now I know what Cocktail I'm trying tomorrow! Cheers!
Smith and Cross with the Liber passion fruit syrup is unbelievably good with that added funk for a Hurricane. Great video as always!
Gonna buy some passion fruit Juice tomorrow! Can't wait! :-))
Cheers!
Love the Door county brewery Bernie
Viewers from the UK are loving this rn
Love watching your channel. You guys make it fun and easy. I want to make all the drinks. 😎
As someone from Baton Rouge, Louisiana can I just say THANK YOU for pronouncing New Orleans correctly!
New subscriber and mixer thanks to this channel. Loved the history and love the drinks. Cheers!
Love your vibe. Nice channel.
You crack me up with presenting 3 possible recipes. No wonder the recipe changes over the years. Lol! Hurricanes & Dirty Texas Tea are my two favourite drinks. Considering I am a girl from Canada, when my friends & family hear what I am drinking, they’re surprised & intrigued. Thanks for posting this! 🍻
This is great; I just arrived in New Orleans and I am watching this video. The Hurricane and French 76 (with cognac) are my go to cocktails when we arrive in town.
Having a Hurricane at Pat O'Brien's in New Orleans is on my bucket list.
I feel like I need to thank you and Az for your work on this channel. Every video is an absolute delight. I keep a big ol' running list of cocktails I want to try some day, and basically every single one of your new releases goes straight on that list. But even more importantly, your onscreen personas are so damn nice and adorable, and the cinematography and sound in your videos are really top notch. Wonderful content, a real joy to watch. Please keep it coming! Cheers!
Thank you so much for the kind words! Happy you're enjoying the content. I hope you can try all the cocktails! Cheers!
One of my favorite cocktails . In the words of Alan Jackson POOOUR ME SOMETHING TALL AND STRONG MAKE IT A HURRICANE BEFORE I GO INSANE!
Thanks so much for this! Been looking forward to it! Turns out I had unknowingly been making the Pat O'Brien's recipe. I'll have to give yours a try now and see which I prefer. Cheers from Canada
Hope you enjoy the variation! These two were fun to compare. Cheers!
I always love every hats that Azusa wore. :) that cute.
I made the Hurricane a few weeks ago and loved it. Now on to your video to see how you made it. Love that you're doing Tiki as well.
Excellent - Cheers! 🍹
Love your videos. Can’t wait to make these. Can you do a video on the Navy Grog
Yes!!! Fassionola recipe please!
I really enjoy the Saturn cocktail, but I've never tried the Hurricane. I'll have to give this a go. I'll probably try recipe number 1. Thanks Az and Anders!
I recommend anyone doing a hurricane drinking tour in New Orleans that Lafitte's Blacksmith shop has my personal favorite Hurricane
Hey man- every since I went to New Orleans and a hurricane in a giant fish bowl I’ve been trying to make a cocktail that imitates the taste and have failed miserably using various recipes online. You educated me on the different rums so I went and bought all of them except the el dorado rum. I also bought the liber and co syrup and their grenadine.
Dude, I just made the second recipe but used Myers dark rum instead of the el dorado and this drink is fantastic. Perfect for a hot day at the water. What I believe really made a change in this drink was the real McCoy light rum. Before, I was using Bacardi white and no matter my drink smelt like pure ethanol and it would ruin it. This real McCoy is a game changer as well as the liber and co grenadine.
I got my liber co syrup passion fruit coming in the mail today and going to make recipe #1 tonight. Can’t wait to try that after how good it is. Thank you for educating me and all of us on this drink and many others. I’m a total believer now in how even in mixed drinks, QUALITY of ingredients DO matter.
The history lessons are always as great as watching Anders make the cocktails. Just think we are all drinking cocktails that were made 80 to over 100 years ago!
Ah, so that explains why I wasn't a fan of the hurricane at Pat O'Brien's. Now I can't wait to make the original. Thanks!
Definitely Dylans best song
anders!! i already watch all your videos, but if you made a video specifically about rum mixing i may watch it 5 or 6 times! love the content
Clicked so fast on this one. Brings back fond memories of trying out the Hurricane for the first time back in 2013 when I visited New Orleans for the first time. Cheers!
You never forget your fist Hurricane! Cheers!
This is amazing. I finally subscribed earlier this week, and just last night behind the bar a couple asked if I knew how to make a hurricane, and I had to say that I didn't. A day later, I do! Thanks for having my back, Anders!
I should've posted this yesterday! Thanks for the sub - Cheers!
Another recipe to try - oh the horror!!!😎 I think we also could all use some more Az in our lives. She seems like gem!
I'll try your version out. I'll just need to get my hands on some passion fruit syrup.
Thanks for the video and you did great as always!
Thanks, Joonha! Cheers!
What a coincidence, I just had this for the first time a day before watching the video! Definitely an addition to my tiki list now
I took your recommendation for the Liber and Co syrups. WOW. I got their passionfruit and their raspberry and both are delicious. Great recommendation. Oh, and the Hurricane recipe is pretty good too lol
Love this video. Liber syrups are amazing. Their grapefruit shrub can do wonderful things for the right cocktails. I also really like when you do two versions of the same cocktail and then describe the differences. It's super helpful for figuring out what kind of spins to put on these drinks myself and figuring out which ingredients go well together. Also would definitely watch a fassionola video. And could we get an Old Cuban video sometime? It's my go to right now and I'd enjoy seeing how you make one. That is all.
Also a fan of Liber, I have the Grapefruit Shrub and would love to hear your favorite cocktails for it.
What a coincidence!! I just ‘discovered’ the hurricane in a cocktail bar in Madrid and get home to find this video on it! It’s my destiny to make a hurricane
I'd love to see a video on the fassionola syrup
Another cocktail for my list
So many ways I have seen this cocktail. Love the idea of Smith & Cross. The brewery I used to work at, I would make this into a keg cocktail and serve it during Mardi Gras. Cheers Anders and Az
This is a great for batching - especially for Mardi Gras! Cheers to you both!🍹
I've never made any of the cocktails because I'm a student on a budget, but the quality and structure of your videos is unparalleled!
Rum, lime and sugar are all you need to get your foot into the door. Once you finish a bottle, try another bottle from a different island, or a different style. You can stay on the cheap while still learning about a particular spirit without breaking the bank on a bottle. I am suddenly reminded of the daily Daiquiri to the now closed Lost Lake and was struck with how informative it was to compare and contrast different rums in the same recipe structure.
A few years ago my wife and I visited New Orleans for the first time. While she was unpacking (Hampton Inn downtown...not to shabby) I went outside and found a store selling frozen Hurricanes. Kind of sweet, as in it would cause a diabetic to run for insulin, but I'm anxious to try your recipe.
