A hand grenade is a strong alcoholic cocktail drink. It was first made at the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition. It is sold at four locations in the French Quarter in New Orleans and through mail order and the Internet. The recipe, trademark, and licenses of the product are owned by 721 Bourborn, Inc. The "hand grenade" recipe is proprietary and is maintained as a trade secret.
The rapper Ludacris mentions drinking hand grenades in a song from his The Red Light District album called "Pimpin' All Over the World": "...and at night I'm in New Orleans drinkin' Hand Grenades."
Hand grenades are commonly associated with Mardi Gras and are consumed in great quantity in New Orleans during that time.
