Hurricane with Rum and Passion Fruit
Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparing the Glasses
- 1
Prepare four tall hurricane glasses and place them in the freezer for a few minutes, or fill them with ice to chill them thoroughly.
- 2
Slice the oranges for garnish, rinse the mint sprigs, and prepare the cocktail cherries so they are ready to use when serving.
Mixing the Cocktail
- 3
Into a large shaker filled halfway with ice, pour the white rum, dark rum, passion fruit syrup, orange juice, and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- 4
Seal the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, until the contents are well chilled and frost appears on the outside of the shaker.
TIP:Shake vigorously for at least 15-20 seconds. Visible frost on the shaker indicates that the cocktail is properly chilled and ingredients are well mixed. If no frost appears, the cocktail will be too warm.
- 5
Discard the ice from the chilled glasses, fill them with fresh crushed ice, and strain the shaker contents through a strainer evenly into all four glasses.
Serving
- 6
Carefully pour about 10 ml of grenadine down the side of each glass. it will sink to the bottom and create the characteristic red gradient typical of the Hurricane.
TIP:Pour the denser ingredient slowly down the inner wall of the glass or over the back of a spoon. Grenadine will settle to the bottom and create a sharp layer. Slowness and care are key, this is how you achieve a clean color gradient without mixing.
- 7
Garnish each glass with an orange slice on the rim, a cocktail cherry, and a sprig of fresh mint, and serve immediately with a straw.
More tips:
If you don't have passion fruit syrup, use the same amount of pulp from 2-3 fresh passion fruits mixed with a tablespoon of sugar and strained through a sieve, the flavor will be more vibrant and aromatic.
