I am not sure how Mardi Gras came to be the one last hurrah before all of that, but I do know that the hurricane is a regular drink in the French Quarter for tourists from around the world.
I have had my share over the years including at least one oversized drink from a Copland's restaurant in the DC suburbs decades ago now. In any case, if you have a hankering to try a bit of New Orleans before you turn your attention inward toward your relationship with Christ and man, drink up.
A Hurricane is best made with equal parts of light run, dark rum, and passion fruit nectar. Some will encourage a dash (or two) of lime juice and if you feel compelled, I won't tell you no. I like martini glasses, but the much more common would be the hurricane glass pictured above.
