- This iconic drink will help you kick off your summer in New Orleans style- also it's incredibly delicious!
**********************************
Although the Hurricane is most closely associated with Pat O'Brien's French Quarter Bar (just off Bourbon Street) and New Orleans, the drink was actually first served a few years prior at the 1939 World's Fair in New York at the appropriately named Hurricane Bar. The Hurricane has fallen a bit out of favor in recent years, and though I'm not exactly sure why that is, I suspect it's got to do with the effective loss of its key ingredient: Fassionola. Now, Fassionola is something of an industrial mystery goop created by the English Company. It's impossible to find anywhere, but there's an e-bay story where you can buy English Fassionola. Other companies have filled the void with improved versions that are somewhat more accessible, most notably Cocktail and Sons and B.G. Reynolds, but you can also make your own, which is what I did here. A word about English Fassionola, I don't want to seriously malign it, by all accounts this is the real deal stuff that was used at both the Hurricane Bar and Pat O'Briens, so for real authenticity it might be the way you'd want to go, but frankly I think we can do better. So I'm going the homemade route here using a recipe I found on Supercall, and as you'll see in the video I fully endorse that recipe.
Hurricane
• .5 oz. or 15 ml. Lime Juice
• .75 oz. or 22 ml. Fassionola
• .75 oz. or 22 ml. Orange Juice
• 1 oz. or 30 ml. Smith + Cross rum
• 1 oz. or 30 ml. Rhum Barbancourt White
• Shake over lots of cracked ice
• Open pour into hurricane glass
• Garnish with pineapple and stuff
Supercall’s Fassionola Syrup

I'd love to see you make an Absinthe Suissesse! Man they are tasty, and perfect with breakfast! I had my first one in NOLA!
Did you seriously just like your own comment?
@@hannahpumpkins4359 I'm running off to find out more now...
@@MasterDarkenRahl I think he did and I'm all for it🤣🤣
You may not see this but have you tried passoa, a passion fruit liquer. Don't know if you can get it in the USA
I absolutely need that Hurricane Category 1-5 video. But if you’re going to do that, you totally need to make a non-alcoholic version, too, and call it a Tropical Depression.
I LOVE this my wife is pregnant and chomps at the bit when I watch his videos!
Awesome idea.
I second this. I need the categories
This would be an amazing series!
I can’t believe he has yet to do this
Bullet point tasting notes person is really coming into their role and I love it
YES! I totally agree. I’ve been enjoying the editing comments - including the bullet points - more and more with each episode. So much snark!
They really got me with the punch in the face line! 😂
Liquid air conditioning, keep up Greg. Lol! Cat 1-5 Hurricanes please.
It's been great to see the quality of this show increase over time but the heart remain the same. Bless
The Spirit Monk[e]y concurs.
I use Passion Fruit Syrup and Raspberry Syrup as my “Fassionola”. Girlfriend hates rum, so my Hurricane for her is 1 oz Lemon, 1/2 oz each Passion Fruit and Raspberry Syrup, and 2 oz Ford’s Gin. I call it the Tropical Depression because “gin brings on the melancholy”.
2535Win It’s called ‘Mother’s Ruin’ for a reason
Thanks
Hurricane disambiguation please!
Also, great episode
AGREED! Also, Editing Greg is maybe my favorite Greg,
I agree as well, I would love to see a disambiguation episode for hurricanes!
@@jasonross000 blasted drunk editing Greg is a lotta fun too
@@Corvidae65 ha! I assume Editing Greg is always drunk! 😁😉
Whoever thought of turing the little umbrella inside out is a genius! I think if you served that to someone they would at first wonder why you did that and then be awestruck by your cleverness!
_"For the love of God, woman, go make me a fresh batch of hurricanes!"_ ༼ ༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ༽
please do an Archer cocktail list!
THERE BETTER BE MORE OF THOSE
All we want is a black Mexican episode
@@CactusJones7 what about a white Russian hair moose and germicide(from archer 1999)
Yes!! Thank you!!!!
Green Russians!
The tasting notes are slowly becoming one of my favorite parts of this channel
It’s 2 am here and I’m wanting a drink right now because of this show. If making alcoholic drinks is an art, then you’re an artist man.
Everything is art!
Haha you’re right man
What we have here is a well crafted drink made with quality ingredients by someone who cares. Most tourist bar Hurricanes are the opposite and that's why they're looked down on. Usually made of artificially flavored, ultra sweet, day-glow red dyed corn syrup, tossed together with massive amounts of cheap alcohol and served in a giant plastic hurricane "glass". Guaranteed to come up faster than it went down.
Its too bad that this has become the expectation too, people think a hurricane should be strong like a long island, but thats not the recipe and creates an unbalanced drink. It does a disservice to bars that actually care about having a well balanced cocktail.
Please do the Cat 1-5 episode, I love this show.
Have then Radiate from Cat.1 drink all day to Cat.5 that ends your day
You can make it stronger, but yeah the more you drink, the more you get f'ed up
did the best bar crawl ever in NOLA. we started at the hotel roosevelt, then sauntered over to french 75, then meandered over to carousel, then stumbled over to pat o'briens, and then collapsed somewhere we can't even remember
"Hmm... I can't figure out what fruit is in fassianola, so I'll put them all in!"
- Whoever created this fassianola recipe
Time to start Friday off right....8:30am drinking here we go!
*6am when they start serving liqour again after an hour of closing
Nothing wrong with morning drinking... So long as it's a breakfast drink!! :D
If you don’t start first thing you can’t honestly say “I’ve been drinking all day”.
love that you guys put out so much content lately and still remain the quality
much love
Yup I would love to get a video for a Hurricane 1 to 5
Dude the tasting notes are always HILARIOUS!! Keep up the good work man, love the channel!!!
Your Old Fashioned history/disambiguation video was the first one that I watched of yours. The history and historical variation of cocktails is fascinating! Do MOAR!
Bring New Orleans home with you...
Me: Lives in Louisiana 🤔
Your improvisation is what makes your videos good .simple and playful
Keep up the good work man
Somewhat of a new viewer, I came for the Rhaegar rant and stuck around for your character and amazing drinks!!! Now I get excited whenever your name pops up!
The different types of Hurricanes sounds like an interesting video, I’d love to watch it! 👌🏼
Love it. Tasting notes this time was very good. It's also good to know that Greg can get a career singing along with his cocktail skills....
Awesome videos dude keep up the great work also big fan of the slow motion effect on all the pouring!
The notifications for a new episode never fail to make my day :D
You're absolutely bonkers (in the best possible geeky way), and that makes this show all the better!... I love how 'Tasting Notes' has a mind of its own. Cheers!
You sir, scared me when you started singing in the beginning of the video, i wasn't paying attention and heard that. Absolutely love the videos, keep bringing awesome cocktails and fun content.
Love the episode as always! Greg, you kill it every time.
Also please please please make a Category-5 video with different hurricane variations
Not gonna lie. You're not far off for the temperatures here in Louisiana. Been hitting upper 90s the past few weeks. Watching this reminded me we need more hurricanes to sip on. Keep up the good work!
It looks like Tiki season is coming up, my favourite How To Drink videos!! Thank you so much!
So happy to see Rhum Barbancourt make an appearance! My grandmother's side of the family is Haitian and so it holds a special place in my heart and in my bar!
It's so good. The 4 year was the first bottle I bought when I started back up my home bar after years of drinking mostly beer and wine. Rum/rhum is just so hard for me to keep a bottle of.
The Lonely Frog playing constantly and on repeat in your head explains SO much
One of my favorite parts of these videos is when you say, "Oh that's great!" I look forward to making this drink
i absolutely love the background jazz music in these videos. *snaps fingers through entire episode*
Awesome content. Great to see the progression.
Also, your editor is hilarious. Seriously keep up the sarcasm its great!
the hurricane is one of my go-to cocktails! id love to see the disambiguation and a focus on a passion fruit hurricane
Awesome drink and AWESOME comments on "the tasting notes"
I love this channel!
I need you to do the Hurricane categories. Mostly because of how much I love this drink!!!
Thanks for helping me up my Gin and Tonic game. Always enjoying your videos
I love your videos, and have a Bar Basics episode idea: Bar Basic episode on your suggested spirits to buy for the beginner home tiki bar. Something designed for someone who wants to begin their tiki drinks journey and wants a solid foundation to build upon.
I don't know why I watch these videos, I don't drink, but I can't stop myself.
Because he's wildly entertaining and he does occasionally do non-alcoholic drinks ;)
Categories 1-5 hurricanes should get increasingly stronger. A 5 would just be a glass of rum
Yeah I worked at a seafood restaurant in Florida and each category of hurricane was another shot of a different rum. White, gold, spiced, dark, and 151.
If I would have to be a little bit more complicated than that but painkillers have different levels based purely on the alcohol by volume content. I would also like him to develop actual different flavors for the different colors of hurricane
Midnight Saturday here in Australia just after I finish work... Can't think of a better way than watching this!
"Category 1 through 5" - when you plan an episode, get everything organised, then riff at the top of it...and come up with a better idea than you had planned. lol - great episode, make the 1-5 one anyway! - loved the idea.
Pat O's is my favorite bar, and Hurricanes are some of my favorite drinks!
I expected nothing less but a rousing rendition of 5 O'clock somewhere as an intro! Well done!
Immediately thought of Alan Jackson when I saw this video and am so glad you related this to his song. I applaud you sir
Absolutely love the tasting notes! Perfect fit for the show haha
I've only tried an awful blue hurricane before. I'm SO excited to try this one.
Love the show, the snarkiness of whomever is doing the add on comments during the show truly makes it. Keep up the good work!
Love the editing done to your more resent productions!!
Hi! More about the Hurricane and please more drinks like this one! love them!! keep it up!! love the chanel!
The Hurricane reference from the country song reminded me of another drink reference from a country song(I know there are many) that also happens to be a New Orleans tradition...in the song 'I'd be Jealous Too' by Dustin Lynch, he mentions how "she comes on stronger than a Bourbon Street Hand Grenade"....I'd be interested to see how that drink is made.
Love your show!! Keep being awesome!!
Always happy to see when a new episode pops up!
Greg, anything your genius mind comes up with, we will definitely want to watch.
Your editor is on point. These videos are hilarious. Keep it up!
Can’t remember the last time I heard “New Orleeeeeeens,” but good lord Greg your Northern is showing on this one, bud
Yeah, I've never heard a local say it, only the tourists.
Though I love experimenting and making drinks for people, my liquor stock rarely consists of more than a couple decent whiskeys (whiskies?) and some weird fruity abominations my wife’s friends leave here.
As such, this is one of the most enjoyable channels on UA-cam for me. I blew my D&D group’s minds on Cinco with Palomas thanks to that video. Really want to try your bitter version soon.
There’s a distillery here in Pittsburgh that makes excellent Rums, but most exciting is their true Falernum. I’d send ya some if you want to do a video on Falernum. It’s seriously awesome.
You need an hour long special on every drink from a Jimmy Buffett song.
I'm glad to say I've gone through several videos online of people making hurricanes. Yours is the closest to the classic way of making it I've found. Only video to use a fassionola syrup I've found. And you didn't overpour the rum base and kept at 2 oz instead of doing a gargantuan 4 oz pour and destroying the balance. I bartend in new orleans at a spot where we do make a fassionola syrup for our hurricane. Happy to see someone elsewhere actually doing it proper justice . Salud.
What recipe did you use for your fassionola syrup????im really stuck on this one...
Love that Longines. You should do a spin off- "how to watch"
"unsweetened or nothing"
Greg I thought we were friends.

Ain’t got no home... Clarence “Frogman” Henry. I love it!
I've been really interested in making Hurricanes lately. I would LOVE to see a category 1-5 episode!
Perfectly timed! Hurricane season starts tomorrow!
Fantastic! These videos are so excellent!
I absolutely love the sass in the tasting notes. It's like a slightly rude sibling giving you crap and it always makes me laugh!
It's funny that you had the worst Mint Julep there because I had the best one when I went two years ago! Thanks for doing the hurricane, I love NOLA and your channel so bringing both together is great.
I work @ a restaurant. Cajun seafood. We had a drink made with Fassionola (house made) fresh lime juice, Flor Da Cana Rum & Hennessey. It was dang! GOOOODDD!!!! Also the fassionola was used in a NA soda as well as to NOT waste it & give guests an alternative to alcohol. Nice video! BTW I got a cool hurricane glass from Polynesian Village Resort Hotel, Walt Disney World w/ old school logo.
Me and my dad love to watch Matlock together. He would always watch old shows like that, and I started watching them with him
Yes! No idea if you did this from my suggestion 2 weeks ago but love it!
When I was down in New Orleans I too didn't have a Hurricane and can't say quite why. My cocktail of choice there was the Vieux Carre. Also I noticed Pimm's Cups seemed to be very popular there which surprised me.
Yes absolutely want to see a hurricane variety episode. You could use the “category” system. Cat 5 hurricane!
I love learning new ways to deal with ice lol !
We went to New Orleans for my brother/sister in law's jack and Jill weekend and the best hurricane I have ever had was from the Chartres House restaurant in the French Quarter. We stopped there by chance for lunch and I would HIGHLY recommend it!
Looks awesome!
I love the Editor on the Tasting Notes.
i've been using homemade passion fruit syrup, and the color is this lovely bright gold with a nice sour tartness
Great job & show!!
I'm glad you use super call! I use some of their recipes as well I love their falernum #9 recipe. Best home made one in my opinion.
Absolutely in love with this episode!! Takes me back to your early work and is so much fun. Also wish you told me earlier about hammering the shaker shut, that is gonna be a difficult habit to break... 😐😐😐
I’m only really learning this myself
3:30 "They have 3 colors. RED, GREEN and GOLD."
Dude. The Karma Chameleon joke was right there and you whiffed it.
Fun fact from the Crescent City: Rhum Barbancourt is a common offering to the loa in voodoun ceremonies, which are still an occurrence here in New Orleans.

Making this tomorrow for Hurricane Isaias! Thanks Greg :)
MAKE IT HAPPEN!!! Do it like your Winston Churchill episode, but you need to be by the beach!
Love your presentations, I always want to try what you make.
Love all the episodes so far since I started watching a while ago. Especially the more tropical drinks since they go well in the subtropical climate I reside here in Florida. Was wondering if we might soon get your take on a Pina Colada that’s not just pre-mix and rum. Thanks
I got my drink!!! Thank you for making this!
My man! Great Friday upload!
I would love an exceptional episode on the 5 different types of hurricane fassionolas
Hey Greg, I love your show! Entertainment and production quality is off the charts! I was curious what the exact songs for the opening and main chunk of the show you use because I love them! Thanks, and cheers!
Summer is just starting and I'm already seeing this drink around a lot, it's making a comeback folks
I've been looking for a good Fassionola recipe! I've tried the pomegranate syrup + raspberry Smuckers thing, and while good, didn't "feel" right. I made a batch of this Fassionola and like it a lot! I used hibiscus tea to tint my batch.
I made these last year for a New Orleans day my wife and I had. We were planning a New Orleans honeymoon but covid squashed those plans. The recipe I found had passion fruit juice and 4 ounces of rum. It turned out pretty good lol.
Rum makes everything better. Its science😜
Epic spec for this one! Dying to try one in NOLA!
A flight of different hurricanes. Yes please. I want that episode
Sounds like the kind of tropical drink for me! I'm a hibiscus/red zinger gal, and so I guess we better have a party as an excuse to make the Fassionola syrup.
Thanks a lot Greg, I was studying Cocktail Law to help people stay out of Cocktail Jail and you just up and told people its not real.
Although Cocktail Jail does sound like a good name for a drink.
I think making different versions of drinks and comparing them would be a really cool video to see.
