Hurricane Frances
Well ... someone -- who shall remain anonymous -- suggested or rather directed me to update my journal.
I can barely figure this site out - let alone figure out how to update it!!!
So in anticipation of Hurricane Frances, I am providing a recipe for Hurricane "The Drink."
Recipe compliments of Pat O'Brien's Hurricane Mix which is sold in New Orleans, LA.
Real hurricanes require passion fruit juice or nectar (or at least passion fruit syrup). If you can't find juice, use a Hansen's nectar, which isn't bad.
If you're concerned about these being too strong, here's how to cut them down a lil' bit -- reduce the amount of each type of rum to 1 ounce, and add an extra ounce of orange juice.
1.5 ounces light rum
1.5 ounces dark rum
1 ounce orange juice
1 ounce fresh lime juice (NOT Rose's or RealLime)
1/4 cup passion fruit juice, or 1 tablespoon passion fruit syrup
1 teaspoon superfine sugar
1 teaspoon grenadine
Cherries with stems, and orange slice to garnish
Ice cubes
In a cocktail shaker, mix the rum, passion fruit juice or syrup, the other juices and the sugar until sugar is dissolved. Add the grenadine, and stir to combine, then add ice and shake. Half-fill a hurricane glass with ice, then strain drink into glass; add ice to fill. Garnish with orange slice and cherries.
---------------------------------------------------------------
If you can't find any passion fruit juice, nectar or syrup, a "faux-Hurricane" can be made with one large can of Fruit Juicy Red Hawaiian Punch, one 12-oz. can of frozen orange juice concentrate, and one 6-oz. can of frozen lime daiquiri mix.
