Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces white rum
  • 3 ounces gold rum (or dark rum)
  • 3 ounces passion fruit syrup
  • 3 ounces orange juice
  • .75 ounces grenadine syrup (.50 - .75)
  • 1 ounce lime juice

Garnish

  • 2 quarters orange wheel (use as much as you want, I find that 2 is fine. Slice the orange wheel thinly, then cut in quarters and cut a slit in the flesh so you can put on the rims of the glasses.)
  • 2 maraschino cherries (rinsed)

Instructions

  • Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice, and get the glassware.
  • Add the rums, passion fruit, orange juice, grenadine and lime juice.
    3 ounces white rum, 3 ounces gold rum, 3 ounces passion fruit syrup, 3 ounces orange juice, .75 ounces grenadine syrup, 1 ounce lime juice
  • Add fresh ice to the glasses.
  • Cap cocktail shaker and shake for 15 seconds. Divide and pour the liquid between the two glasses. (Divide the shaker ice between the glasses as well.)
  • Add an orange slice to each rim of the glasses. Place a cherry in each glass.

Notes

Helpful tips
  • Although this is usually served in a hurricane glass, serve it in whatever you have on hand. Even a double old fashioned glass will do. I use two tulip shaped glasses.
  • I use white and gold rum, but you can use one kind of rum if you prefer. You can also use dark rum but NOT spiced rum.
  • You can either use passion fruit syrup like I did, or passion fruit juice. I couldn't find juice that didn't have additives or other juices in it, so I bought the syrup from Amazon.
  • Wash the citrus before you use it to remove any pesticide. Here's how: squirt some unscented natural hand soap in your hand and take each lime and rub the soap on the skin. Next, scrub the skin with a vegetable brush. Run each piece of fruit under cold water to make sure all of the soap has washed off.
  • Want to lessen the cocktail's sweetness? Add .50 ounce instead of .75 ounce of grenadine.
