When superstorm Sandy shut down so many New York restaurants, Maison Premiere in Brooklyn picked up the gauntlet by shucking oysters and shaking up a drink called the Hurricane.
The $13 libation of defiance is a mix of rum, passion fruit and lemon juice, served over crushed ice and easily consumed in 60 seconds flat. It tastes and smells like anywhere but Gotham, which is fair enough, because this nearly two-year-old Williamsburg spot takes much of its inspiration from the vibrant cocktail culture and French-inflected cuisine of New Orleans.
