Hurricane

Compliments of the idrink.com website. One of several versions of this popular drink that originated in New Orleans at Pat O'Brien's bar.

• 1 oz. light rum
• 1 oz. dark rum
• 1 oz. Amaretto
• 6 oz. pineapple juice
• 6 oz. orange juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 dash Grenadine syrup
• 1 slice orange
• 1 maraschino cherry

Add 16 ounces of ice to a cocktail shaker. Combine light rum, dark rum, Amaretto, orange juice, pineapple and lemon juice. Shake well and pour into a Hurricane or other large specialty drink glass. Top with Grenadine. Garnish with the orange slice and cherry.

The drink is assigned numbers according to how many ounces of rum are used. Thus a Category #3 Hurricane contains three ounces of rum. After a few of these, head for shelter and watch out for the possibility of a storm surge.
