You went to Mardi Gras and had the drink...

[+OshnDoc]

A drink from the French Quarter in New Orleans

[+Monkeybrad]

Inspired by the drink made famous by Pat O'Brien's in New Orleans, because it has a similar color?

[+PSU Fan]

Lots of the players on the steelers played for Miami

[wwflover13]

Hurricane Ivan from 2004?

[+mousekakat]

It's your favorite drink?

[+steel city babes]

Inspired by the drink made famous by Pat O'Brien's in New Orleans, because it has a similar color?

 

I consider this a hint:

 

Answer is on the right track and I am looking for my specific...inspiration!!!!

 

If you guessed prior to my post you may try again even though it hasn't been 10 minutes.

Alright: The idea behind these hurricane drinks is that they are red in color, quite potent and will get you drunk in a hard beat, once you get into the fresh air out of Pat O'Briens, and hence make you feel as if the world spins around you. (How about that as an explanation?)

[+PSU Fan]

Inspired by the famous drinks of New Orleans in tribute to those affected by Hurricane Katrina 2 years ago.

The hurricanse are a team, you are a fan.

There were three storms named after the three scb's and you three were discussing this one night over drinking hurricanes at a bar and admiring the color of the drink in an alcohol induced haze

[SoCalGeocoins]

Served in a Pat O'Brien's logo glass and garnished with an orange slice and a cherry, the fruity red concoction was created during World War II when liquor such as whiskey was in low supply. In order to purchase just one case of these liquors, liquor salesmen forced bar owners to purchase as much as 50 cases of rum, which was plentiful. In an effort to use the abundance of rum that Pat O'Brien's acquired, the recipe for the Hurricane evolved with the help of an eager liquor salesman. The name came soon after when a glass shaped like a hurricane lamp was used to serve the fruity rum cocktail.

 

The Pat O'Brien's Hurricane glass is one of the most sought-after souvenirs in New Orleans. Many New Orleanians have one or more in their possession, and as for what they do with those glasses once they get home, one Pat O'Brien's patron pointed out, "A Pat O's Hurricane glass can hold exactly $10.00 in pennies."

LMAO it could have happened...

[wwflover13]

When they mix it the pinapple juice and grenadine mix together and make a "hurricane" of red and yellow in the glass.

Hey, I tried, lol!

 

I wouldn't be offended for a consolation prize if you felt so inclined...especially since we can't get jelly belly's here in Sweden

[+Astartus]

You had some drinks that featured the same colors and felt liek being spit out of a hurricane afterwards (as everything was spinning)?

You are a huge sports fan and you shared drinks with the announcer, Pat O'Brien (or maybe you are into ET ..since I think he did this too).... Mr. O'Brien is still in your thoughts, so you came up with the "Hurricane" geojelly in his honor inspired by the Pat O'Briens of New Orleans.

Wow nice history lesson...I was just in New Orleans and ended up on Bourbon street enjoying many drinks but one wasn't a hurrican!!!

 

HINT: I had to do research on the drink - Hurricane, when designing my coin i.e for the colors? So yes the Hurricane drink inspired me...but from where did I find out about such a drink..be specific???

 

You can guess again!!! if it hasn't been 10 minutes.

 

I am stepping out for a bit to run some errands before a long awaited weekend of camping with some college friends that might include some drinking of some HURRICANES!!!!

I hate to be graphic, but here is my guess. Along with their famous Hurrican'es Pat O'Brien's serves free popcorn. The popcorn is very salty and as you eat it you get thirsty so you order more hurricanes. The nearly inevitable result of too many hurricanes is regurgitation. Aforementioned regurgitation is almost always full of tiny whitish yellow pieces that were formerly popcorn. After two AM you can find little pink puddles with specks in them all over Bourbon street. Those puddles look remarkably like the color of the jelly bean. Honestly when I first saw it and saw the name that is what I thought of, but I did not wish to gross anyone out with that guess.

You and your friends had a wild night out and one of them bought you a Hurricane?

[+PSU Fan]

You were watching the Pirates of the Caribbean and all the drinking of Rum made you thirsty. You knew that you did not want to drink it straight, so you looked up drinks made with rum. You are health consious, so you thought that the fresh and delightly fruit flavors would soften the blow of the Rum ... The Huricane looks sweet, smells sweet, but sounds rough like a Pirate.

 

To summerize....You were inspired by Jack Sparrow drinking Rum in Pirates of the Caribbean.

[+Shop99er]

You found out via the Alan Jackson/Jimmy Buffet song "It's 5 o'clock somewhere.

 

It sounded like a great thing if they were singing about it, and you decided to try one.

 

Now, you're hooked.

[wwflover13]

You were looking up something to do with hurricanes on the internet and you stumbled upon a page about the drink?

[SoCalGeocoins]

Hurricane Katrina and the Super Bowl inspired you. So you took the colors from the Hurricane drink to make your coin since it came from New Orleans

[+BVnLJ]

Little does the geocoin community realize that Shop99er types with one finger while holding some sort of drink in the other hand...at all times. In fact, he's most often typing what Mrs. Shop99er is dictating over his shoulder as she refills the drink.

That was The Truly Unpleasant Mrs. Shop99er.

 

First off, Yime is under the mistaken impression that we call her TTUMS because we can't remember her name. If you don't believe me, ask Chooch72 what happened when he told her no at the Luau.

 

Second, I would NEVER type whilst holding a drink. Might spill it!! Geez!!

 

If my drink/beer (what I'm having right now) goes empty, I'm on my own. She's unreasonable, that way.

 

Now, I'm gonna post this before she catches me.....
