Tips for Making Hurricane Cocktail

• Use real passion fruit juice or pulp. It gives the drink its tropical flavour, and a sweetened juice cocktail turns it into a sugary punch.
• Use both rums. The light rum keeps it crisp, and the dark rum gives depth, and the mix is what gives the drink its character.
• Sip it slowly. It has two measures of rum and tastes like fruit juice, and it hits harder than it appears.

Common Substitutions & Variations

• Lemon is the everyday swap for lime in this kind of dish — the acidity plays the same role even though the flavour is not identical.

What to Serve with Hurricane Cocktail

• Jambalaya
• Fried shrimp
• Beignets

Storing & Reheating Hurricane Cocktail

Best made and drunk at once. Larger batches of the juices and grenadine can be kept in a jug in the fridge for a day, and the rum and ice added when serving.
