People Ask For A “Hurricane Shot” With A Slap In The Face At This Florida Bar

A South Florida bartender has proved how business savvy she is after having people line up for her $30 “hurricane” shots that come with a slap in the face.

Aiyana Callas, who goes by “Hurricane Aiyana” once the sun sets, says she sells 150–200 hurricane shots a night at Backyard Fort Lauderdale, which translates to a $6,000 gain per night.

Highlights
  • A South Florida bartender earns $6K/night by selling $30 "hurricane" shots with a slap.
  • Aiyana Callas, also known as "Hurricane Aiyana," sells 150-200 shots a night at Backyard Fort Lauderdale.
  • Her unique service has gone viral, attracting spring breakers to experience the slap.

“They think it’s entertaining, they think it’s funny, they think that it’s an experience,” Aiyana says about her clients. “It’s really just all in good fun.”

“I am 100% a performer at best, and I’m really good at making it look like I’m slapping them as hard as I can. But I am absolutely not slapping them as hard as I can.”

    “At the end of the day, these are kids, and I’m always trying to keep them safe.”

    The 26-year-old Nova Southeastern University graduate shares her unique act on Instagram, where her videos amass hundreds of views.

    Aiyana may not have invented the hurricane shot, but her wrestling-style theatrics helped her go viral, making spring breakers migrate north from South Beach just to get slapped.

    Customers can order the traditional $30 hurricane and ask for variations where she spins, does a Matrix-style backbend, or hits them with combination smacks, as per Axios.

    The drink-plus-slap combo capitalizes on the interest in an Instagrammable moment they can share with their friends and the carefree atmosphere many students experience during their Spring Break.

    Aiyana started bartending when she was 18, but her “hurricane” project began last March.

    She also works at Backyard as a freelancer, purchasing shots from the bar and reselling them to customers. 

    Her goal, however, is to become a sailing vlogger on YouTube. When she’s not smacking spring breakers in Fort Lauderdale, Aiyana enjoys cruising the world on her sailboat.
