Hurricane Instructions
The Hurricane cocktail is a fruity and refreshing drink that originated in New Orleans. Its vibrant red color and tropical flavors make it a popular choice for parties and special occasions.
The drink gets its name from the hurricane lamp-shaped glass that it is traditionally served in. The combination of rum, fruit juice, and grenadine creates a sweet and tangy flavor profile that is sure to delight your taste buds.
To make a Hurricane cocktail, start by filling a hurricane glass with ice cubes. Pour 2 ounces of light rum, 2 ounces of dark rum, and 1 ounce of passion fruit juice into a shaker filled with ice. Add in 1 ounce of orange juice, 1 ounce of lime juice, and a splash of grenadine for a touch of sweetness.
Shake the ingredients well and strain them into the prepared hurricane glass. Garnish the cocktail with a slice of orange or a maraschino cherry for an extra pop of color. Enjoy your Hurricane cocktail as is, or add a straw for sipping.
