Two Wednesdays ago, I decided to beat the heat with a Tiki drink, so I grabbed for Beachbum Berry's Potions of the Caribbean. There, I found the Hurricane Buster created by Joe Scialom of the Caribe Hotel in 1957; he later served this at the Habana Hilton as the Machete. Joe is best known for creating the Suffering Bastard, and I have also written about his Sol y Sombra. Here, the Hurricane Buster offered a mint, floral, and fruity bouquet. Next, lime and guava on the sip transitioned into rum, tropical, and orange flavors on the swallow.
