Imagine this: You’re strolling down the vibrant streets of New Orleans during Mardi Gras, the air is filled with jazz music, and you’re holding the most tantalizing drink – a Hurricane Cocktail. This drink is not just a beverage; it’s an experience, a burst of sweet, fruity flavors with a rum kick that transports you directly to Bourbon Street.
- 2 oz light rum
- 2 oz dark rum
- 1 oz lime juice
- 1 oz orange juice
- 2 oz passion fruit juice
- 1/2 oz simple syrup
- 1/2 oz grenadine
- Ice
- Orange slices and cherries for garnish
Start by gathering all the ingredients you need for your Hurricane Cocktail. This includes both light and dark rum, lime juice, orange juice, passion fruit juice, simple syrup, grenadine, and, of course, ice. Don’t forget the orange slices and cherries for garnish!
In a shaker, combine the light rum, dark rum, lime juice, orange juice, passion fruit juice, simple syrup, and grenadine. If you don’t own a cocktail shaker, any large jar with a tight-sealing lid will work as a great alternative.
Fill your shaker halfway with ice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. Shaking not only chills the drink but also ensures that all the flavors meld together beautifully.
Strain the cocktail into a large glass filled with ice. The traditional Hurricane glass is preferred, but any large glass will do. Add a splash more grenadine for that iconic sunrise effect.
Garnish your Hurricane Cocktail with a slice of orange and a cherry. Serve immediately, and enjoy the taste of New Orleans no matter where you are!
