Everything You Need to Know About The Hurricane

No matter the time of year, its always Mardi Gras when you sip on a Hurricane, a potent and playful rum cocktail born in the lively bars of New Orleans. This iconic sweet and strong drink, with its distinctive passion fruit and citrus notes, was first concocted at Pat O'Brien's in the 1940s as a delicious way to move excess rum. It's the ultimate party starter, perfect for festive gatherings or a tropical escape in a glass.

2 oz Dark Rum
1 oz Fresh Lime Juice
1 oz Passion Fruit Puree (or Passion Fruit Syrup)
0.5 oz Orange Juice
0.5 oz Simple Syrup
Dash of Grenadine
Orange Slice and Cherry, for Garnish

Instructions

Fill a hurricane glass or large highball glass with ice and set aside to chill.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the light and dark rum, lime juice, passion fruit puree, orange juice, simple syrup, and grenadine.
Fill the shaker with ice.
Shake vigorously until thoroughly chilled, about 15-20 seconds.
Strain the mixture into the chilled hurricane glass filled with fresh ice.
Garnish with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry.

Pro Tip

For an authentic touch, ensure your passion fruit puree is unsweetened to better control the sweetness of the drink. If using passion fruit syrup, you may need to adjust the amount of simple syrup.

Hurricane Riff

For a less sweet version, reduce the simple syrup and increase the lime juice slightly. You can also muddle a few fresh pineapple chunks in the shaker for a more pronounced tropical fruit flavor, or add a dash of Angostura bitters for complexity.
