Cran-Raspberry Tropical Orange Sling Mocktail
Packed with fruit flavors, refreshing, sparkling and granddaughter approved.
You don't have to serve this in a hurricane glass, but the mocktail was inspired by the world famous Hurricane Cocktail from the Pat O'Brien's Bar in New Orleans. The glass was specifically made for the Hurricane Cocktail, first introduced at the 1939-40 World’s Fair in New York, and is meant to resemble the chimney of an oil lamp, a preparedness item during hurricane season for when the electricity went out. This mocktail is as pretty to look at as it is delicious and refreshing to drink.

Notes
- The term "hard ice" is an old bartender term from the days when a mixologist would use an ice pick on a large block of ice to pick off large chunks of ice to make a cocktail. Today, the term "hard ice" is to distinguish it from "crushed ice" or "shaved ice."
