Hurricane - Rum, fruit juices, grenadine
The Classic Hurricane Cocktail is a vibrant and sweet alcoholic drink that originates from New Orleans. This tropical concoction is known for its blend of light and dark rums, passion fruit juice, orange juice, lime juice, simple syrup, grenadine, and a garnish of orange slice and cherry. The drink is typically served in a curvy 'hurricane glass,' from which its name is derived. It's an ideal choice for celebrations, summertime gatherings, or when in the mood for a fruity and potent mixed drink.

Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 oz Light Rum
- 1 1/2 oz Dark Rum
- 1 oz Lime Juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 oz Simple Syrup
- 2 oz Passion Fruit Juice
- 2 oz Orange Juice
- 1/2 oz Grenadine
- Ice
- Orange slice and cherry, for garnish
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: N/A
Total Time: 5 minutes
Servings: 1 cocktail
Equipment:
- Glass (typically a Hurricane glass)
- Cocktail shaker
- Bar spoon (if mixing directly in the glass)
- Jigger or measuring cup
Instructions:
1. Fill a Hurricane glass with ice to chill it down while you prepare the cocktail.
2. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine 1 1/2 oz of light rum and 1 1/2 oz of dark rum to create a boozy base.
3. Add 1 oz of freshly squeezed lime juice to bring a vibrant citrusy tang to the drink.
4. Pour in 1 oz of simple syrup to balance the acidity with a touch of sweetness.
5. Introduce 2 oz of passion fruit juice for a luscious tropical flavor that’s wonderfully aromatic.
6. Top it off with 2 oz of orange juice for a sunny, fruity note.
7. Seal your cocktail shaker and give it a vigorous shake for about 15-20 seconds to ensure the concoction is well mixed and chilled.
8. Strain the mixture into the prepared Hurricane glass filled with ice.
9. Drizzle 1/2 oz of grenadine over the top. The grenadine will sink to the bottom, creating a beautiful layered effect reminiscent of a sunset.
10. Gently stir the cocktail with a bar spoon if you want to integrate the grenadine for a pinkish hue throughout the drink.
11. Garnish with a slice of orange and a cherry on the rim.
12. Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly!
Cooking Tips:
- If you don't have passion fruit juice, you can substitute it with another tropical juice such as pineapple or mango for a similar effect.
- Always taste your cocktail after mixing. If it's too tart, add a bit more simple syrup; if it's too sweet for your liking, balance it with a little more lime juice.
