The implication here, is that a "hailstorm", would be a drink that opportunistically uses "hail" as it's ice. The drink served at the Fort is basically a mint julep. We need to find additional references to help solidify this as an actual drink category. | The implication here, is that a "hailstorm", would be a drink that opportunistically uses "hail" as it's ice.

Not sure if this truly is its own type of mixed drink, it is extremely rarely encountered. More research is required.
So far, I've only found one reference to it, is as it is currently being served at the "Fort Restaurant" and that it "...has roots in the Old West. In the 1830s at Bent’s Fort (the La Junta trading post that the Fort’s architecture is based upon), hail was gathered by fur traders and trappers from atop the building and used to cool down beverages (ice was still a rare commodity in those days)." [1] [2]
The implication here, is that a "hailstorm", would be a drink that opportunistically uses "hail" as it's ice. The drink served at the Fort is basically a mint julep. We need to find additional references to help solidify this as an actual drink category.
