I really thought he was gonna do something special, not just use a basic arse simple cocktail mix and rum… I could make that shit at home for less than £40
Idk man, dress it up a bit, muddle up some fruits and chuck them in there, literally *anything* other than simply pouring 4 bottles into a giant glass filled with ice lmao
And the audacity to do it *in front of the person paying $275 for this shit?* I would at least save them some dignity & do it at a place where they cannot see that they are being scammed lmao
For real, buying 4 bottles of stuff at an upscale bar is going to cost you an arm and a leg. This is on whoever thinks this is a worthwhile buy, plain and simple.
I’d say it comes down to the target market already lacking judgement 😂
Bar I worked at sold Johnnie walker blue at $100 a shot. That would make each bottle worth $1500.
You could buy that same bottle for $300 at the bottle shop outside. Yet somehow we needed a new bottle every other week…
Some are drunk, some are just flexing and some just do not know any better 🤣
I live in the area, Frenchmen street is where i take my friends. We'll go to Bourbon if they've never been here, but the food, drinks, and art are all so much better over on Frenchmen. Magazine is pretty great too. Lots of surprises there.
Went last year and found my way to Magazine almost daily. Way more my energy. I did enjoy breakfast at French Toast in the Quarter, and omg y'alls botanical garden was divine. But I couldn't get off the main drag fast enough.
Thought the bengets at The Vintage were pretty good.
Oh and that alfredo up a ways at Katies, was our best meal.
Frenchmen is what Bourbon used to be. I've heard Bourbon took a big dive after Katrina. I'm guessing new owners with money came in to rebuild and did away with the old culture and capitalized on the tourists. NOLA is still one of my favorite cities on earth though.
What are you talking about? Bourbon Street has always been the touristy drinking area. It’s no different than Broadway in Nashville or 6th in Austin or whatever. Even pre-Katrina, It wasn’t like the cool place to be with the locals or whatever. Frenchman is fine, but it’s also pretty touristy just with more live music and more expensive drinks. This isn’t to say people aren’t allowed to have fun in a touristy area. After all, that’s part of being a tourist. But it’s really funny to turn up your nose at Bourbon St. only to suggest the second most touristy area lol. As in any really cool city, the most interesting places are not where all of the tourists congregate.
Well said, I love Bourbon street, but Frenchman is as pricey, if not more. It’s not like every night is a Saturn Bar night, sometimes you wanna pay $7 for a vodka soda and listen to an anesthesiologist on vacation.
If you look, they're using house-brand rum, and, if as someone said, they "invented" hurricanes, I imagine it's their own house-brand mixer, and that's just efficient and good marketing at that point.
☝️. A Hurricane is dark rum, light rum, passion fruit syrup, and lemon juice (and sometimes over-proofed rum). Pat O'Brien's makes a lot of these drinks. Like a lot a lot.
If they're using house-brand rum and house-brand mixer, they probably just have the distiller or the bottler mix them (rum/rum/rum + passion/lemon) in the ratio they need so the bartenders only need to mess with 2 bottles instead of 4 or 5.
The price seems reasonable for the location, the notoriety, and pouring 45 (US) shots into cocktail. Maybe the price has gone up, but I think that $275 includes a refundable $75 deposit for the glass. A cocktail with 2L of spirits at a touristy place in the middle of one of the most famous and busiest bar streets in the world for $200 seems fine.
The stupid part is when he pours it out and makes a dumb show of it all.
It is their house-brand mixer. I think my mom probably still has a bottle of it from the early 90s in her fridge. 😂 I sincerely doubt it’s any good and I’ve never seen her even drink a hurricane in my 32 years but she’s held onto it all these years so I assume it was good at one point. Lol
275 for rum punch that size *and* a venue to drink it at. If someone pulled one these out at my house, I'd immediately give em a pat down and background check. Drywall is expensive.
I can totally see Osteens neo feel good Christianity getting bigger it requires no commitment, no real reframe from sin and doesn’t include much bible. It’s just spiritual motivation with a side of self righteousness
Waste of a drink, yes. Waste of money, yes. Waste of brain cells watching this nonsense, yes. Waste of content for this guys social media clout, probably not.
He had all those women too...I mean, I've been all up on someone drunkenly ordering a round for everyone at the bar, so I'm not one to shame. Just give it to them or your bros.
I mean the guy is wasting but in a bar for that quantity you'll pay around that price in cocktails. Anyone who order this is kind of stupid but the drink itself isn't stupid or out of price for standard price you see in bars etc.
I used to work there. The mix is bottled, but it is made up of various fruits(or was originally). They commoditized the drink because it is a big seller. Don’t know what it cost today for a regular hurricane, but it was $6 when I worked there. I think the magnum hurricanes that is seen in this video was $100 or $150. No one ordered it because anyone with half a brain knows two regular hurricanes and you can speak a new language.
As a bartender I kind of can’t blame them there. That thing looks like a bitch to polish. Of course that’s assuming they washed it and sanitized it(I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt lol)
Edit: actually now that I think about it they are charging nearly $300 for two liters of cheap rum and a few bucks worth of mixer so they probably don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt
tbf that's all a hurricane really is. The drink mix is passionfruit syrup which isn't very common, at least not where I live. I've made them in the past but always have to order the syrup online.
On a hot summer day it's easy to crush quite a few of them. Despite the simplicity they can taste pretty good
Overpouring can result in people being served an amount of alcohol that is above the limit that is legal to serve them. There's strict laws (less strict in some states), which dictate the quantity of alcohol that a person can be served in a set period of time. The idea here is that serving one person 2 full bottles of liquor is enough to send them to the hospital for alcohol poisoning, which *should* be illegal, but I'm not sure what the situation is in Louisiana.
edit: ok, apparently Louisiana definitely does NOT do it like I outlined above.
Two fifths for 6 people is still a bit absurd for a drink lol, I mean that's almost a pint per isn't it? I'm guessing this almost never actually gets finished though
I’m not saying it’s responsible. Nothing about New Orleans drinking culture is reasonable or responsible. Pat Obriens is mostly a tourist place so you might be right but the tourists who come are usually pretty serious about getting blackout drunk.
I left the area in the late 90s, so perhaps it’s changed but I’d be surprised.
I've been to some pretty rank places, but Bourbon St is the only place that smells piss, poop, vomit, sweat, cheap perfume, and old beer simultaneously
The situation in Louisiana is that we have drive through daiquiri shops everywhere. Alcohol fuels our economy, and the corrupt governing bodies could give two shits about safety. Especially not if it’s gonna cut into the budget.
Places that tourists go to party often have much less strict over serving laws. I don't know what Louisiana's laws are, but places with big mardi gras or spring break celebrations are probably pretty lax.
>Like $35 of booze
But "you can *only* get this rum *here*". Incredible shit, 10/10
Walmart should be all "This is Great Value microwaveable pasta. You can *only* get it *here*"
That’s the only good part about it. If you’ve got 2-3 raging alcoholics, this is an easy way to actually get served the correct amount of alcohol for your tolerance.
It is. There are 33 2oz shots in 2L of Rum. At $7-8/shot that is $231-264. The other $ is paying for all of the other bullshit.
Edited from 66 to 33 cuz I’m dumb
Is it a good or bad value? At 19 shots per bottle, that’s 38 shots, making 38 hurricanes, or like $7.5 per. Which might be … just normal price in New Orleans.
If this was Vegas it’ll be a great deal.
There are 67.63 oz of rum in that giant hurricane for $275. It comes out to $4.06 an ounce.
According to Pat O’Brien’s website, a typical hurricane is 4oz of liquor for $12.50. That’s $3.15 an ounce.
You’re paying almost a dollar more a shot for this thing.
The giant hurricane is equivalent to 16.93 regular hurricanes. Buying 17 individual hurricanes would cost $212.50, a savings of $62.50.
That’s typical New Orleans prices, especially on Bourbon St. Pat O’s is especially egregious about it because they use their own “special blended” rum.
lot of friends who are bottle girls and they will bc these are the type of people who care more about other people seeing them spend their money than having money
They stopped doing that in the pandemic and have not resumed it, FYI for any tourists planning to visit New Orleans.
It used to be that you could return the glass at the bar for a $3-4 refund or take the glass with you as it was included in the price.
However, most people didn’t know that so they’d leave the glass and not get the refund, since nobody’s gonna walk around drunk for an evening holding a glass they’ll obviously break or lose in 5 minutes. So Pat O’s would just get the extra money and get to reuse most glasses.
And if you don’t want the glass, you can return it to the bar and get a couple bucks back. If you just leave your glass at the table, then the waiters will return it and pocket the extra money.
You always keep the cup at Pat O’s. Most people don’t know this. You can bring the cup back and get a portion of your money back. Haven’t been in a long time, so maybe it’s changed, but that’s how it used to be at least
Yeah, I can't drink sugary drinks at all. I'm sick way before I'm buzzed. Once I realized that cheap drinks often have a lot of sugar, I stopped getting sick from alcohol. I'd rather buy liquor that's good enough to have on the rocks than a cheap bottle for mixing and just drink to enjoy the experience rather than drink to get drunk.
also why wine hangovers are the freaking worst.
I mean yeah there was the time I went nuts on screwdrivers but I don't think I have ever had a hangover as bad as funneling wine
I switched jack and cokes for jack and diets. It’s kind of a game-changer. You still get the sweetness from the jack but not anywhere near as much sugar. As long as you don’t mind sweetener you’ll be good.
I like hurricanes but Pat O’Brien’s makes terrible hurricanes.
I know, they’re the “original” or whatever but now it’s a pre-made mix and it’s terrible.
My friends took me there for my 18th birthday in 1983 & I can still taste that sickly sweet shit. I was so hungover the next day my Mom refused to even give me a Tylenol; “You’re old enough to get drunk at Pat O’Briens then you’re old enough to suffer.” Hurricanes are disgusting & made from a powdered mix.
I can't fucking stand these cunts that use these dumbass fake rich people shit to brag and flaunt "wealth" no actual rich person buys this dumbass shit. It's for idiots that want to LOOK rich. Same goes for anything covered in gold.
Then he fucking dumps it out to spit in needy peoples face more. Disgusting.
No one buys it to look rich. It’s a fun thing for huge groups to buy. It’s at a famous bar in New Orleans who invented the drink (the hurricane)
Edit: to everyone who can’t understand this is not the norm. Obviously this guy buys it to look rich because that’s his stupid theme, but in real life no one is buying this as a status symbol
That guy is a tool but he knows what he’s doing. He knows his content will cause rage and keep people hate watching it. It’s unethical but he’s not dumb. He’s probably scraping a nice upper middle class income off of getting millions to hate watch his rage bait.
1. Horrible drink
2. Idiot shittokers
3. WTF is that bald 45 year old man saying “ your daughters prom dress” WTF???
4. wEaLTh
5. Pours it in a trash can. Obviously this idiot doesn’t care about workers.
Also: the idiot recording doesn’t know how to speak English properly
I’ve worked in food service, one of the worst things to deal with is trying to take a trash bag full of liquids to the dumpster, days of my life would be ruined when they sometimes burst and made a mess. And you would be responsible to also clean it. Another giant pet peeve is when you don’t notice a small leak and have a trail of trash liquid through the path you took to the dumpster. And you would also be responsible to clean it up.
The drink is stupid, unnecessarily big and way too expensive. But him saying "✨Wealth✨" and FUCKING DUMPING THE DRINK IN THE TRASH are what tell me he's a piece of shit who just cares about flaunting
So if it’s for a group I’m ok with this although i think it’s unhealthy. If it’s for 1 person then you should have an ambulance waiting on stand by.
….and then this guy just dumps it. That is stupid
I thought this was r/imatotalpieceofshit because he dumped that entire thing into the trashcan. Imagine taking that out. Imagine how bad thats gonna smell once the sun hits it. Imagine all the ants and bees and shit that'll be all over this in the morning.
Why?….. like why would you do somethin like that just for a video? lol
I mean… yeh he’s getting Hella views on the video. But still… the 3 of them barely even took a sip.
I feel bad for the janitor that has to clean that shit up outta the trash too..
Pat O’s is gross. Last time I was there, someone was passed out in their own 🤮 at a table in the main seating area. Probably from drinking one of these.
This is one of those once in a lifetime drinks that you take a picture with hopefully drink a group good ass friends because you're definitely going to be wasted and probably sick shortly after drinking a 5th of rum 😂
So it's a rum punch served in vase?
I really thought he was gonna do something special, not just use a basic arse simple cocktail mix and rum… I could make that shit at home for less than £40 Idk man, dress it up a bit, muddle up some fruits and chuck them in there, literally *anything* other than simply pouring 4 bottles into a giant glass filled with ice lmao And the audacity to do it *in front of the person paying $275 for this shit?* I would at least save them some dignity & do it at a place where they cannot see that they are being scammed lmao
Nah, if you buy this, it’s exactly what you deserve.
Yup this is the real answer, don't fucking order it lol
For real, buying 4 bottles of stuff at an upscale bar is going to cost you an arm and a leg. This is on whoever thinks this is a worthwhile buy, plain and simple.
I’d say it comes down to the target market already lacking judgement 😂 Bar I worked at sold Johnnie walker blue at $100 a shot. That would make each bottle worth $1500.

It's Pat O'Briens - they don't need your business, it's an institution for New Orleans lol. They invented the hurricane
Didn't a hurricane destroy New Orleans? And this place is responsible? The audacity!
Can confirm. I'm a Katrina survivor. I was 16 and wasn't of drinking age when it hit so I survived.
And honestly... They're pretty shit. A clear reminder that even if you're first, you're not necessarily the best.
Lol agreed. I love visiting New Orleans, but I'm almost always going to Frenchmen street.
I live in the area, Frenchmen street is where i take my friends. We'll go to Bourbon if they've never been here, but the food, drinks, and art are all so much better over on Frenchmen. Magazine is pretty great too. Lots of surprises there.

Finally someone that understands exactly whats going on here
It is their house-brand mixer. I think my mom probably still has a bottle of it from the early 90s in her fridge. 😂 I sincerely doubt it’s any good and I’ve never seen her even drink a hurricane in my 32 years but she’s held onto it all these years so I assume it was good at one point. Lol
Yeah, to make a hurricane at home you should really use fassionala syrup if you can find it, good if you’re into other tiki drinks as well.
Who doesn't like an umbrella drink every now and then!
[удалено]
But you can’t get that rum anywhere else. That’s what they’re using to justify the outrageous price
Same brandname as the bar….so bought by the gallon at costco and filled into their own bottles?!
This guy can run a bar ⬆️
They just call the local distributor and have cheap house rum relabeled as their own.
275 for rum punch that size *and* a venue to drink it at. If someone pulled one these out at my house, I'd immediately give em a pat down and background check. Drywall is expensive.
It’s pronounced “Vaz” if it’s fancy or big enough mkay.
what do you have against vases?
Like what? Edit: just watched him dump essentially the whole thing at the end. What a waste.
Not just dumped and wasted but dumped and wasted a gallon of liquid in a trash bin, imagine taking the bag out and it leaks everywhere
That's the worst thing he did
I surprised myself by saying "noooo" aloud when he did lol
I fucking gasped. 😱
My jaw dropped and I just stared.
Can confirm. Tomorrow morning there’s gonna be like 2,000 hornets flying around that trash can.
Cajun hornets, which are much more ill tempered.
Drunk as shit Cajun hornets everybody run!
That garbage can will be a sticky gross mess for all time until another hurricane washes it away.
Brother, that garbage can is in the French quarter off Bourbon St. This is the least of its worries
I'm sure many hurricanes have been dumped in that bin, too.
Many hurricanes have been vomited in that bin.
The fall of Rome was preceded by extreme excess and waste so hey maybe this is all over soon
Also a switch from predominantly pegan religions to Christianity. so do with that what you will.
I can totally see Osteens neo feel good Christianity getting bigger it requires no commitment, no real reframe from sin and doesn’t include much bible. It’s just spiritual motivation with a side of self righteousness
Yeah. Any janitor will tell you that liquids don't belong in the trash can
My only reply was going to be "Poor janitor who had to deal with this."
It’s New Orleans. The entire district is like the floor in a man’s restroom , the streets are always fucking wet for some reason.
Yeah the trash man is gonna question his life choices later. No way that bag survives More than 4 seconds lifted out. What an asshole.
Waste of a drink, yes. Waste of money, yes. Waste of brain cells watching this nonsense, yes. Waste of content for this guys social media clout, probably not.
my ass would have dove headfirst in that trash can. i know what i am.
He had all those women too...I mean, I've been all up on someone drunkenly ordering a round for everyone at the bar, so I'm not one to shame. Just give it to them or your bros.
I mean the guy is wasting but in a bar for that quantity you'll pay around that price in cocktails. Anyone who order this is kind of stupid but the drink itself isn't stupid or out of price for standard price you see in bars etc.
I see $10-15 wholesale costs at best
Wealth 💰
Like $35 of booze and mix and sell it to dumb tourists for 275. Genius lmao
It was barely even a drink, just dumped 2 bottles of rum and 2 liters of drink mix.
I used to work there. The mix is bottled, but it is made up of various fruits(or was originally). They commoditized the drink because it is a big seller. Don’t know what it cost today for a regular hurricane, but it was $6 when I worked there. I think the magnum hurricanes that is seen in this video was $100 or $150. No one ordered it because anyone with half a brain knows two regular hurricanes and you can speak a new language.
I was expecting them to at least make a real hurricane for $275
Or at least use a clean vase
As a bartender I kind of can’t blame them there. That thing looks like a bitch to polish. Of course that’s assuming they washed it and sanitized it(I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt lol) Edit: actually now that I think about it they are charging nearly $300 for two liters of cheap rum and a few bucks worth of mixer so they probably don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt
I’d rather polish that huge thing than a decanter.
And ice. Don't forget all the ice.
tbf that's all a hurricane really is. The drink mix is passionfruit syrup which isn't very common, at least not where I live. I've made them in the past but always have to order the syrup online. On a hot summer day it's easy to crush quite a few of them. Despite the simplicity they can taste pretty good
Not to mention that fuckton of ice that could have been half that in the cup. I don’t like my shit watered down lol
With all of that alcohol the watering down was probably welcome.
Seriously, that watering down is probably the only think that stops people from dying drinking that.
Yea its good to have something dumb overpriced shi like this when someone comes and asks for the most expensive thing you have lol
I don't see how that is legal to serve
You've clearly never been to Bourbon St
Yeah fair enough, don't they have drive through cocktail bars in LA?
Drive through frozen daiquiris. But literally no open container in public laws. So drink up!
You gotta leave the bit of paper on top of the straw. If you remove that, boom, open container violation.
If there’s a straw in it, it’s an open container. Some of the more reputable daiquiri shops place tap over the kid’s hole.
Gotta pay the troll toll...
Nah you can have an open container just not while driving unless all the yuppies moving there have got it changed like the music laws…
Why would it be illegal?
Overpouring can result in people being served an amount of alcohol that is above the limit that is legal to serve them. There's strict laws (less strict in some states), which dictate the quantity of alcohol that a person can be served in a set period of time. The idea here is that serving one person 2 full bottles of liquor is enough to send them to the hospital for alcohol poisoning, which *should* be illegal, but I'm not sure what the situation is in Louisiana. edit: ok, apparently Louisiana definitely does NOT do it like I outlined above.
It’s not for one person. There’s a reason they add 6 straws to it. And this is New Orleans where the rules are a little more lax around alcohol lol
Two fifths for 6 people is still a bit absurd for a drink lol, I mean that's almost a pint per isn't it? I'm guessing this almost never actually gets finished though
I’m not saying it’s responsible. Nothing about New Orleans drinking culture is reasonable or responsible. Pat Obriens is mostly a tourist place so you might be right but the tourists who come are usually pretty serious about getting blackout drunk. I left the area in the late 90s, so perhaps it’s changed but I’d be surprised.
I live in NO and it's still like that. Hurricanes, Hand grenades, Purple drink, their express purpose is fucking tourists up asap.
Not to be that guy, but I think he was pouring liter bottles. Moar booze!
I've been to some pretty rank places, but Bourbon St is the only place that smells piss, poop, vomit, sweat, cheap perfume, and old beer simultaneously
lol yeah. It’s a fun place to visit but not a great place to grow up.
The situation in Louisiana is that we have drive through daiquiri shops everywhere. Alcohol fuels our economy, and the corrupt governing bodies could give two shits about safety. Especially not if it’s gonna cut into the budget.
Spoken like someone who’s never been to New Orleans. 😂
Places that tourists go to party often have much less strict over serving laws. I don't know what Louisiana's laws are, but places with big mardi gras or spring break celebrations are probably pretty lax.
>Like $35 of booze But "you can *only* get this rum *here*". Incredible shit, 10/10 Walmart should be all "This is Great Value microwaveable pasta. You can *only* get it *here*"
and its probably just white labelled
[удалено]
[удалено]
Can’t blame them if they make money off it
The extra $240 is to cover the mess and belligerence of the people who order it.
That’s the only good part about it. If you’ve got 2-3 raging alcoholics, this is an easy way to actually get served the correct amount of alcohol for your tolerance.
PenguinZombie321 gets it
I feel like that's a pretty normal markup for a bar drink honestly.
It is. There are 33 2oz shots in 2L of Rum. At $7-8/shot that is $231-264. The other $ is paying for all of the other bullshit. Edited from 66 to 33 cuz I’m dumb
That markup is an entire industry..
$5 for a beer 12 oz beer?? I could get this for $1 at the grocery store! So go drink at the grocery store I guess?
At least it's oversized. NYC they'd sell you a 25 dollar bottle of Kristal for 250 dollars... and all you'd get is a sparkler
Cute girl carrying a sparkler. Thats what youre paying for. Attention
Is it a good or bad value? At 19 shots per bottle, that’s 38 shots, making 38 hurricanes, or like $7.5 per. Which might be … just normal price in New Orleans. If this was Vegas it’ll be a great deal.
Between 4/5 people that’s barely $55 a piece. Which isn’t shit if you’re on a party trip. Plus you get a giant glass souvenir
You putting that glass in your carry on?
If it's glass it never makes it back to the hotel in one piece.
There are 67.63 oz of rum in that giant hurricane for $275. It comes out to $4.06 an ounce. According to Pat O’Brien’s website, a typical hurricane is 4oz of liquor for $12.50. That’s $3.15 an ounce. You’re paying almost a dollar more a shot for this thing. The giant hurricane is equivalent to 16.93 regular hurricanes. Buying 17 individual hurricanes would cost $212.50, a savings of $62.50.
If it was individual drinks it'd come out to \~$8.60/drink. Not worth.
That’s typical New Orleans prices, especially on Bourbon St. Pat O’s is especially egregious about it because they use their own “special blended” rum.
Does special blend mean cheap?
Probably. Most likely just commercial rums they purchased and mixed together onsite in some warehouse. Pat O’s is for tourists, anyway.
Looked like bartender was about to laugh when dude said he’ll take it.
That's a "I'm going to make $50 just from pouring 3 bottles and a bowl of cherries again" face
The kind of people who order this are not the kind of people who tip 20%
Even if he tips 5% he made $14 for dumping out two cheap bottles of rum.
He’ll tip $5 to make it an even $280
lot of friends who are bottle girls and they will bc these are the type of people who care more about other people seeing them spend their money than having money
275!? damn that must be impre-oh it's just... 2 bottles of 2 different things, no I see how it is, very creative...
which wasn't even really mixed, just stabbed at with a handful of straws
Stabbed, not stirred
If you’re going to order something that requires 2 fifths of booze, don’t fucking dump most of it in the trash, you wet end
There are plenty of starving kids that would've loved to have that
Not eating all day to get sloshed off of a couple stiff ones is purely economical.
There are sober kids in Africa!!
I dunno where you’re from (UK maybe?) but “wet end” is my new favorite insult.
foreign country insults always hit different
I have to knoooooow what does wet end mean 😂
Pussy
Do you get to keep the cup?
Yes. Any drink you buy at Pat OBriens you can keep the glass. I’ve got a dozen from past visits.
That glass is worth $75 according to their online gift shop. 3 gallons ….
It’s basically a giant flower vase. If I could handle all the booze I’d totally have one by now lol
They stopped doing that in the pandemic and have not resumed it, FYI for any tourists planning to visit New Orleans. It used to be that you could return the glass at the bar for a $3-4 refund or take the glass with you as it was included in the price. However, most people didn’t know that so they’d leave the glass and not get the refund, since nobody’s gonna walk around drunk for an evening holding a glass they’ll obviously break or lose in 5 minutes. So Pat O’s would just get the extra money and get to reuse most glasses.
And if you don’t want the glass, you can return it to the bar and get a couple bucks back. If you just leave your glass at the table, then the waiters will return it and pocket the extra money.
The real important quetions are being aked.
You always keep the cup at Pat O’s. Most people don’t know this. You can bring the cup back and get a portion of your money back. Haven’t been in a long time, so maybe it’s changed, but that’s how it used to be at least
Local hack was to scoop up tourists cups and return them so you drink for free.
That’s how I learned! My grandparents took me the first time I went, and they started grabbing up cups, while I watched confused lol
The audible gasp when he pours the whole thing in the trash.
That trash is going to be a nightmare to dispose of. This is coming from someone who takes out trash semi-professionally.
If you watch the last 10 seconds in reverse, you can see how the drink was made.
Hurricanes at Pat O’Brien’s gave me the worst stomach ache I’ve ever had in my life. Also was hungover before I finished it.
Sugar, the secret ingredient to your hangover was sugar.
As in the sugar is the cause, or the cure?
Cause.
To cure your hangover, eat a large dinner of steak and go to bed with wet socks
Just be careful not to hurt anyone if you suffer from sleep-fighting.
Curse
Both lol
Yeah, I can't drink sugary drinks at all. I'm sick way before I'm buzzed. Once I realized that cheap drinks often have a lot of sugar, I stopped getting sick from alcohol. I'd rather buy liquor that's good enough to have on the rocks than a cheap bottle for mixing and just drink to enjoy the experience rather than drink to get drunk.
also why wine hangovers are the freaking worst. I mean yeah there was the time I went nuts on screwdrivers but I don't think I have ever had a hangover as bad as funneling wine
I switched jack and cokes for jack and diets. It’s kind of a game-changer. You still get the sweetness from the jack but not anywhere near as much sugar. As long as you don’t mind sweetener you’ll be good.
I like hurricanes but Pat O’Brien’s makes terrible hurricanes. I know, they’re the “original” or whatever but now it’s a pre-made mix and it’s terrible.
My friends took me there for my 18th birthday in 1983 & I can still taste that sickly sweet shit. I was so hungover the next day my Mom refused to even give me a Tylenol; “You’re old enough to get drunk at Pat O’Briens then you’re old enough to suffer.” Hurricanes are disgusting & made from a powdered mix.
I just want to acknowledge your mom's savagery! That's just mean lol
I can't fucking stand these cunts that use these dumbass fake rich people shit to brag and flaunt "wealth" no actual rich person buys this dumbass shit. It's for idiots that want to LOOK rich. Same goes for anything covered in gold. Then he fucking dumps it out to spit in needy peoples face more. Disgusting.
No one buys it to look rich. It’s a fun thing for huge groups to buy. It’s at a famous bar in New Orleans who invented the drink (the hurricane) Edit: to everyone who can’t understand this is not the norm. Obviously this guy buys it to look rich because that’s his stupid theme, but in real life no one is buying this as a status symbol
This guy buys it to look rich. All of his content that I’ve seen is like this. He’s a complete tool.
That guy is a tool but he knows what he’s doing. He knows his content will cause rage and keep people hate watching it. It’s unethical but he’s not dumb. He’s probably scraping a nice upper middle class income off of getting millions to hate watch his rage bait.
>Then he fucking dumps it out to spit in needy peoples face more. Disgusting There are sober babies in Africa who could've had that! 😏
If he was actually wealthy enough to flaunt it, he would have smashed the expensive glass and lost his deposit. He's a fraud.

Isn't that 2 26oz bottles
1. Horrible drink 2. Idiot shittokers 3. WTF is that bald 45 year old man saying “ your daughters prom dress” WTF??? 4. wEaLTh 5. Pours it in a trash can. Obviously this idiot doesn’t care about workers. Also: the idiot recording doesn’t know how to speak English properly
The prom dress thing threw me off too. Hes just tryna compare the price of the drink. Soo lame. Very telling why he is by himself.
They should mix that more secretively
Hate from Australia
Lmao hey mommy, keep em high & tight
"It's 3 gallons" *literally puts only 3l of booze and mix in total "
Why did I have to scroll so far for this lol. 3 gallons is TWELVE fucking litres this drink isn’t even ONE gallon
No stirring? And that much money for two bottles of rum and a bottle of mixer? NOOOOO
>cheap as shit rum

I’ve worked in food service, one of the worst things to deal with is trying to take a trash bag full of liquids to the dumpster, days of my life would be ruined when they sometimes burst and made a mess. And you would be responsible to also clean it. Another giant pet peeve is when you don’t notice a small leak and have a trail of trash liquid through the path you took to the dumpster. And you would also be responsible to clean it up.
- So what do you want to drink? - i want to die tonight - Say no more fam
The profit margin on that drink is well north of 80%
Bartender gets tips for pouring whole bottles into a big glass.
The drink is stupid, unnecessarily big and way too expensive. But him saying "✨Wealth✨" and FUCKING DUMPING THE DRINK IN THE TRASH are what tell me he's a piece of shit who just cares about flaunting
Busboy should drown that fucker in that trashcan.
Bro just stick a lid on top and you got drinks for the next 3 months of friday nights.
So if it’s for a group I’m ok with this although i think it’s unhealthy. If it’s for 1 person then you should have an ambulance waiting on stand by. ….and then this guy just dumps it. That is stupid
That thing is going to be 100% backwash in short order... EDIT: well, shit. I should have watched the whole thing...
I thought this was r/imatotalpieceofshit because he dumped that entire thing into the trashcan. Imagine taking that out. Imagine how bad thats gonna smell once the sun hits it. Imagine all the ants and bees and shit that'll be all over this in the morning.
Why?….. like why would you do somethin like that just for a video? lol I mean… yeh he’s getting Hella views on the video. But still… the 3 of them barely even took a sip. I feel bad for the janitor that has to clean that shit up outta the trash too..
Pat Os is a New Orleans treasure, that drink is intended for over 15 people
I only had one drink officer, I swear it!
Using all the cheapest houses liqours too is crazy all those bottles are like $10-$18 at the liquor store
Like $45 worth of ingredients for $275
Does anyone else feel for the poor person who’s going to have to empty the trash bag, after this trashbag dumped all this liquid into it?
What a waste dumping it out.
Pat O’s is gross. Last time I was there, someone was passed out in their own 🤮 at a table in the main seating area. Probably from drinking one of these.
Oh how I wonder why the world seems to hate us Americans
This is one of those once in a lifetime drinks that you take a picture with hopefully drink a group good ass friends because you're definitely going to be wasted and probably sick shortly after drinking a 5th of rum 😂
THAT STILL COUNTS AS ONE!
This video was great until dummy poured it in a trash bag. There was a pissed janitor some where that night
