Passion Fruit Hurricane Cocktail

Author: Mary DiSomma

Mardi Gras might be a winter festival, but the Hurricane is delicious all year round. My special twist is making it a passion fruit hurricane recipe. I love sipping on one of these at a backyard barbecue or a trip to the farm... Your guests are going to love it too!

Passion Fruit Hurricane Cocktail

Passion fruit has a delicately sweet flavor that lends itself perfectly to a hurricane cocktail recipe. Try this one for Mardi Gras and break out the recipe again this summer—trust me. Cheers!

Ingredients

For the Cocktail

For the Garnish (optional)

Orange Slice
Maraschino or Luxardo Cherries

Instructions

In a cocktail shaker, combine both rums, lime juice, orange juice, passion fruit puree, simple syrup, and grenadine. Add ice and shake until well chilled.
Strain the mixture into a glass filled with crushed ice. I like to use an actual hurricane glass, which also works well with my favorite pina colada recipe! Garnish with an orange slice and a cherry!

Extra Tips

One of the most interesting parts of a Hurricane cocktail is the glassware. Traditional hurricane glasses were originally inspired by the shape of the hurricane lamp, a type of lantern whose flame wouldn’t go out in strong winds. Of course, you can use whatever type of glassware you like or have on hand, but the Hurricane glass definitely adds some fun, flair. Plus, it’s a built-in conversation piece!
