Why are Florida Spring Breakers paying to get slapped in the face? When I went on Spring Break, we paid for shots–not slaps. Now, Spring Breakers in South Florida are literally lining up to get slapped in the face by a bartender whose Hurricane shots come with an extra punch.
Most people are familiar with chasing their shots of liquor with juice, soda, or some other type of beverage. Now, Spring Breakers are chasing their shots with a chaser of slap to the face.

Why Are Florida Spring Breakers Paying To Get Slapped In The Face?
According to Axios, the special Hurricane at Backyard Fort Lauderdale costs $30 and comes with her splashing your face with water and a slap across the face (maybe several times). Bartender Aiyanna Callas will introduce you to her alter ego “Hurricane Aiyanna” and it’s a fitting nickname. That slap will definitely help you forget about the awful tasting liquor you just consumed. It’s probably much more effective than chasing with some juice.
Business is booming! People are coming from all over for the one-of-a-kind shot. It helps that South Beach is breaking up with Spring Breakers and telling them they aren’t wanted. So, more people are going to Fort Lauderdale and other South Florida cities for their fun. It seems like they found it at Backyard.
Axios reports they’re selling roughly 150-200 Hurricane shots a night. That means they’re bringing in $6,000 every night on these shots alone! That’s crazy! It sounds much better than when Senor Frogs would give you the watered down shot and then tweak your nipples. That was odd. Did that happen to anyone else? Hoping that’s a normal thing to happen there.
Social media has helped the popularity of the drink. It quickly went viral online for how unique the beverage is. You truly can’t find this in any bar.
Check out some examples below!
The slaps aren’t just for the boys! Women are always welcome, too!
Michigan Has One of the Best Spring Break Destinations
Spring break always arrives at just the right time. It’s when the holiday cheer has totally worn off, and it’s also right when spring is around the corner but it’s not quite here yet. I remember loving spring break in school. But, even if you’re not in school or college anymore, why not take a fun spring break trip this year? If you have a family, all the more reason to do it. If you’re solo, that works, too. Thankfully, there are plenty of trendy, cheap spring break destinations available, and one is in Michigan.
If you want to get the most bang for your buck, as they say, stay close to home. It doesn’t have to be a staycation. But, why not travel to a town that you’ve never been to that’s within road trip distance? Of course, if you live in a cold climate, you might want to travel to a hot spot. The good news is that a lot of warm spring break destinations have great rates, because tourist is simply their business. So, if you go to a popular spring break spot, chances are they’ll have some good deals and be able to cut you a good deal due to just how many people who travel there each year.
The perfect spring break destination is really about getting away from it all. You want a place that fun and exciting. But, you also want a spot that really helps you break away from routine and, hopefully, your electronic devises. Another bonus is if you find a spring break destination near friends who you maybe haven’t seen in a while. It can be a really fun trip to find a central location and meet up with long-lost friends.
Read on for some trendy, cheap spring break destinations in the United States. Here’s hoping for a super fun spring vacation. Oh, these work for summer, too.
Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
