Happy Saturday! It is the weekend, and the weather is a little cooler
than it has been! Talk about climate change! From Seattle Washington

days, but, it sure is a lot of difference. Hot and muggy here,
compared to really nice weather there, and no sweating!

*Interesting tidbits of the origin of this famous drink:
The creation of this passion-colored relative of a Daiquiri drink is
credited to Pat O'Brien. He is reported to have invented the
Hurricane in the 1940s in New Orleans. Rumors say he needed to get
rid of all the rum that Southern distributors forced him to buy
before he could get a few cases of other spirits. He poured the
concocosion into hurricane-lamp-shaped glasses and gave it away to
sailors. The drink caught on, and it's been part of the celebration
ever since.
Pat O'Brien operated a speakeasy during prohibition known as, "Mr. O'Brien's Club Tipperary". The password to get in was, "storm's brewin'" In 1933, after the repeal of prohibition, he moved across the
street, opened Pat O'Briens, and later down to the present location
at 718 St. Peter, in the French Quarter. During W.W.II, it was
difficult to get whiskey, but rum was in ample supply. With the help
of the liquor salesman, this cocktail was born. It is served in a 26
oz. Hurricane glass, which is named after the shape of a hurricane
lamp and the drink.
