It's that time of the year again! Mardi Gras! Let the good times roll! New Orleans is my favorite city in the world! I got lucky to be able to visit there in 2010 and even though I didn't get to do Mardi Gras we were there about a week or so before so the excitement was there but not the crowds. I wanted to be able to see New Orleans. If you go to Mardi Gras that's really all you are able to do...which isn't bad...I just wanted to see the city for the first time. She seduced me bad. We were there for 5 days....and yes I was drunk for most of it. I mean come on...you can walk down the street at any time of the day or night with a drink in your hand...as long as it's in a to go cup. No glass bottles. Only plastic. I actually cried the day we left and to this day if I see it on TV or movies I feel the city. I really want to live there before I die. I also found my favorite drink which you will find below. Don't forget to have pancakes today!

1oz Vodka - Any traditional vodka works
1oz Gin - This juniper berry liqueur plays well with others
2oz Gold Rum (or 1oz each of light and dark rum)
1oz Amaretto Amond Liqueur - This almond liqueur adds a fun, thing-that-makes-you-go-Mmm
1oz Triple Sec - A brand of basic orange liquer.
1 Tbsp Grenadine
Grapefruit juice + Pineapple juice, and/or passion fruit puree or juice
Simple syrup, optional, to taste
Hurricane glass or highball glass
Orange slices

Straws
1. Prepare the garnishes. Slice and orange in half and place the flat side down on a cutting board. Slice it into quarter-inch thick half-moons, one for each drink.
2. Fills the glasses with ice. Fill each hurricane glass or the tallest glass you have about halfway full of ice.
3. Mix the liquors, liqueurs and grenadine. Measure the vodka, gin, rum, amaretto, triple sec and grenadine into the hurricane glass(es). Stir to combine it all. Alternatively, you can shake the liquors and liqueurs in a cocktail shaker with ice until it frosts over. Then strain them into the glass and add the grenadine.
4. Top with juice. Fill the remaining space in the glass with passion fruit juice, or equal combinations of pineapple and grapefruit juice. Give another quick stir to blend the drink.
5. Garnish and serve. Garnish the hurricane with and orange slice and maraschino cherries. And for the real Pat O'Brien's New Orleans experience, serve and sip your hurricane through two tall straws.
