Pam Fortner and Earl Bernhardt, owners of the Tropical Isle bar founded during the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition, created the melon-flavored Hand Grenade as their signature cocktail.[1] Since January 1992, the Hand Grenade has been served in a green, translucent, plastic yard glass container with a bulbous, textured base shaped like an oversized hand grenade.[2]
Cocktail enthusiasts' opinions about the sweet and potent drink range from classifying it as a "terrible drink"[3] (along with another similarly unique French Quarter cocktail, the Hurricane) to being "well worth the hangover".[citation needed]
Tropical Isle's website sells a prepared Hand Grenade mix for home use.[4]
