We’re thick in the middle of Mardi Gras, so I thought it was only right to raise a glass of one of the festivals most celebrated drinks, the Hurricane. Mardi Gras is one of those events I think every adult should experience once in their life. For me, my first time came a year before Katrina with college buddies. History was made, along with some good and bad decisions. If you’ve never been, or can’t make it, it’s ok that’s what we’re here for.
This Hurricane recipe comes courtesy of the Hard Rock Cafe. We’ve had this one personally, we’re frequent visitors to not only Nola, but to Hard Rock here in Florida and it packs a punch. Try this one at home and tell you friends you had a taste of the Big Easy, minus the cost of a airline flight.
Hard Rock Cafe Hurricane:
- 1 part Bacardi Light Rum
- 2 parts Orange Juice
- 2 parts Pineapple Juice
- 2 parts Finest Call Mango Puree
- ½ part Grenadine (float)
- 1 part Disaronno Amaretto
- 2 part Bacardi Select Rum
- 1 Orange
- 1 Cherry
Pour ingredients [Except grenadine and fruit] into a mixer filled with ice. Serve in a hurricane glass, and float your grenadine. Garnish with an orange slice and cherry.
Cheers!
