Hurricane Kick

Created in 2017 by Jeremy Oertel at NYC’s famed Death & Co. and described as being as vibrant as it is delicious, the Hurricane Kick is your ticket to a taste of summer during these cold winter months all while gearing up for Mardi Gras next week.

Unleash the storm of flavor with this split-base cocktail featuring the earthy and vegetal flavors of tequila & the funk and smoke often found in mezcal while lime juice provides a citrusy kick, balancing the two spirits beautifully. The cocktail finishes with ginger syrup, providing a spicy kick inviting you to feel the warmth while dancing with the cool breeze of tropical ingredients.

Cheers!
