The quintessential red party drink, the Hurricane originated in the 1940′s at Pat O’Brien’s Tavern in New Orleans, and as the story goes, the cocktail was created to get rid of a large supply of unpopular rum. Served in glasses fashioned out of hurricane lamps, the classic recipe includes light and dark rums, passion fruit juice, orange juice, grenadine and simple syrup. As “Frankenstorm” makes its way to the Tri-State, here are New York City’s best spots to indulge in the fun kind of hurricanes. By Selena Ricks-Good.

Billy Hurricane’s

25 Ave. B
New York, NY
(646) 692-6216

Although you won’t be able to walk outside this bar with your cocktail in a plastic cup, Billy Hurricane’s brings the Nawlins party vibe to the East Village. Flashing lights, an astroturf-covered patio, carnival-style games and an oversized “drunk” sign are just part of the charm. Not only can you order a Hurricane here, but you can drink it out of a 32oz mini-boot for $13 if the 16oz version ($7) doesn’t provide enough turbulence for you.

This Hell’s Kitchen bar is practically giving away Hurricanes–they’re just $5 all day, every day. From the moment you see the wrought-iron balconies, gas lamps and a stuffed alligator above the bar, you’ll feel as though you really are on Bourbon Street, while the theater-going tourists will remind you of your true surroundings.

If it’s not raining too hard, head to the new garden patio at this Williamsburg oyster and absinthe bar for a scene straight from the French Quarter. Among the sprawling cocktail menu by head bartender Maxwell Britten you’ll find the Belfours Hurricane (Four Roses Bourbon, Laird’s Applejack Bottled in Bond, Aperol, lemon juice and strawberries) served in a traditional hurricane glass.

Ninth Ward

180 2nd Ave.
New York, NY
(212) 979-9273

Ninth Ward, from the team behind Scottish bar Shoolbred’s, celebrates the vintage, gothic past of New Orleans with a decor of voodoo dolls, a stained glass window, hurricane shutters and lots of dusty trinkets sourced straight from the Big Easy. Naturally, a version of the Hurricane is served here, but if that doesn’t provide enough destruction for you, try the Charlie Sheen (Catdaddy Carolina Moonshine and Coca-Cola with a sugared rim and cherry garnish).
