Ever been to Pat O'Brien's in the French Quarter? It's great. Overrun with tourists, but still cool. While you are there, try their alligator bites.
A true NOLA classic dish that may sound strange, but really tasty! Don't you just love New Orleans?
A HURRICANE COCKTAIL IS REFRESHING AND BEAUTIFUL, TOO
This Hurricane Cocktail always brings us back to the Big Easy. Don't overdo it with the alcohol, and these are perfect for sipping poolside, or at a fun gathering of friends.
We love a classic hurricane cocktail, and now you can see how easy they are to make at home! Remember to drink responsibly!

Most passion fruit juice /or concentrate you will find on the web may taste bitter. Best thing to use in place of it is just plain old Welches Passion Fruit Juice you find in the supermarket. It's not pure passion fruit as it's blended with a little grape juice as well. But it does the job & it tastes great!
