What has made Pat O Brien famous?

Answer 1

Pat O Brien's is a bar located in New Orleans, on Bourbon Street. The bar is purported to have invented the world famous Hurricane Cocktail in the 1940s; due to difficulties importing Scotch during WW II, salesmen would often force bar owners to purchase up to 50 cases of rum before allowing a sale on a single case of a good whiskey or scotch. In order to run through the excess rum, the barmen at Pat O Brien's came up with a recipe that mixed sweet fruit juices and rum in a tall Hurricane glass (so called because of its shape like a hurricane lamp).
