Drank Music Special: Sluricane Hurricane (E-40)

By MARTIN CIZMAR

There is an alternate universe in which Master P is the first to develop Sluricane. Pairing a tasty, bottled version of New Orleans' greatest alcoholic concoction with his considerable business acumen, the No Limit empire rolls on. Mystikal won the beef with Weezy. Silkk the Shocker is mentioned in the same breath as Biggie and Pac. The Converse MP is highly sought by sneakerheads, and the Pen & Pixel show is about to open at MoMA. Alas, it took Oakland's E-40 to bring Sluricane to the world. This rummed-up and premixed concoction tastes like Hawaiian Punch with a splash of Malibu coconut rum. But at 18 percent ABV, it hits like a Prohibition-era cocktail. And it comes in a wine bottle for roughly $20. I love this drink, but I'll let another reviewer take it from here: "BE CAREFUL WITH THYS ONE THO DIS BE LIKE ROCKET FUEL. TOO MUCH AND YULL FIND YOSELF AT THE SIDESHOW GIGGIN WIT THE GHOST OF MAC DRE." Rest in peace, Dre. Yo, P, you really should have thought of this instead of trying to make the Raptors roster. Recommended. 

SEE IT: E-40 plays Roseland Theater, 8 NW 6th Ave., with Stevie Stone and Cool Nutz, on Wednesday, May 13. 8 pm. $25. All ages. E-40 will be signing bottles of Sluricane at Tualatin Liquor from 11:30 am-1 pm, Rose City Liquor from 2:30-4:30 pm and Stateline Liquor from 5:30-7:30 pm.
