History: Whiskey was in high demand in the 1940’s but was pretty scarce while Rum wasn’t. Therefore, distributors would offer to sell one case of whiskey if the bar bought several cases of rum. Bars then needed to find a way to sell the rum quickly and so the Hurricane was created at Pat O’Brien’s bar in the French Quarter of New Orleans.
