Hurricane Drinks – A Beautiful Mess

If you like sweet and bold cocktails, you can enjoy a Hurricane drink at home. This drink was created in New Orleans as a solution to using up all the surplus rum. It includes fruity flavors of lime juice, orange juice, passionfruit puree and grenadine, plus a double dose of rum.

Other New Orleans cocktails: Sazerac, Vieux Carré, French 75, Grasshopper, Pimm’s Cup.

ingredient

• light rum – Choose a good quality light rum.
• dark rum – Choose a good quality dark rum.
• lime juice – Freshly squeezed lime juice is essential for this recipe.
• orange juice – Freshly squeezed is best, preferably bottled.
• Passion fruit puree – Select next. Passion fruit puree And if you can’t find it, you can use passionfruit juice or passionfruit syrup in this recipe.
• grenadine – Make your own garnets or choose a store-bought option.
• Sugar syrup – These ingredients are optional (I think it would be sweet enough without them).
• decoration ideas – Orange wheels or half-turn orange slices, preserved cherries or maraschino cherries and paper umbrella It never hurts.

Clearly the best glass product option for hurricanes is hurricane glass. I often use this glass for all kinds of tropical drinks.

Hurricane Drink History

The hurricane was invented by Pat O’Brien in New Orleans in the early 1940s. It was created as a response to the glut of rum, which was easier to obtain than other alcohols at the time. This popular drink helped bartenders move a lot of rum and remains one of the most popular New Orleans cocktails to this day.

Recipe

Start by gathering your ingredients.

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine light and dark rum, lime and orange juice, passion fruit puree, simple syrup, and grenadine.

Shake for 10-15 seconds until the shaker is ice cold.

Pour into a hurricane glass filled with fresh ice.

Garnish and serve immediately.

Crafting Tips

• high quality materials – This drink can be made using all store-bought ingredients or homemade syrups, juices, and purees. The quality of the ingredients you choose will determine the outcome of this famous drink. The fresher the ingredients, the better.
• Too sweet? If this recipe is too sweet, try omitting the simple syrup. If you prefer a less sweet taste, you can replace the passionfruit puree with passionfruit juice (or another fruit juice, such as peach juice or pineapple juice).
• decoration ideas – Adding a slice of pineapple to a tropical drink is always welcome. Dehydrated Pineapple Pieces Could be a classy decoration option and I like this too floral paper umbrella.
