Tropical Isle home of the Little Hand Grenade New Orleans most powerful drink.
And here is more information thn you wanted from wikipedia:
The specialty cocktail drink known as the Hand Grenade is sold frozen or on-the-rocks exclusively by 721 Bourbon, Inc. through five licensed nightclub bars in the New Orleans French Quarter.[1] 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.[2][3] Since 1987,[1] the federally registered trademark "Hand Grenade" has been used to uniquely identify the cocktail and its packaging. 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.[1] The grenade has anthropomorphic features, including black oval eyes and an upturned smile.[1] Printed in bold, black lettering, the legend extends vertically down the neck, with the cocktail name and a reference to its high alcohol content: "Hand Grenade® New Orleans Most Powerful Drink".[1] Consumers purchasing Hand Grenade cocktails in these containers receive discounts on refills at the licensed establishments.[1] In January 2012, a lower-calorie "Skinny Hand Grenade" was announced.[4]
