Hurricane Cocktail
Description
This cocktail blends equal parts dark and white rum with fresh lime and orange juice, adding passion fruit juice to introduce a tropical twist. The grenadine syrup deepens the color and adds pomegranate sweetness while simple syrup balances the tartness. Shake all ingredients vigorously over ice to chill and dilute slightly, then strain into a tall glass filled with ice.
The result is a smooth, fragrant drink that combines the warmth of rum with the brightness of citrus and tropical fruit flavors. The garnishes—orange wheel and maraschino cherry—add visual appeal and a hint of additional sweetness at the finish.
You can prepare a batch in a pitcher for groups by scaling the ingredient volumes proportionally and chilling until serving. Simple syrup can be homemade by dissolving equal parts sugar and water, then cooled before use. Variations include substituting lemon juice for lime juice and passion fruit purée or syrup for the juice.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces dark rum (1/4 cup)
- 2 ounces white rum (1/4 cup)

- 1 ounce orange juice (2 tablespoons)
- 1 ounce passion fruit juice (2 tablespoons, see note 2)

Instructions

Notes
