The OG New Orleans cocktail, Hurricanes pack a serious punch thanks to four shots of rum. Sip slowly and judiciously. “I like doing a split base — you get the grassiness of the light rum and the sweetness of the dark rum,” says Mickey Mullins, says Mickey Mullins, beverage director at The Bower in New Orleans.
