If you’ve ever walked down Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras, you’ve seen them.
Bright green cocktails, served in oversized plastic flutes, handed out like liquid confetti.
People laughing.
Dancing.
Toasting with drinks that glow like neon mood rings.
That drink?
The Hand Grenade — one of New Orleans’ most iconic (and potent) cocktails.
And no, it’s not just for tourists.
This tropical, triple-spirit powerhouse is a legit favorite at the famous Pat O’Brien’s Bar, where it’s been served since the 1980s.
It’s sweet.
It’s fruity.
It’s dangerously smooth.
And at around 40% ABV, it lives up to its name.
