My hurricane cocktail is bright, fruity and ridiculously easy. This easy rum drink tastes like summer in a glass!

I love fruity brightly colored summer cocktails like Blue Lagoons and Sangria Margaritas. Another favorite is this hurricane drink. It has smooth rum, tangy citrus, and a pop of sweetness. It's perfect for sipping at home after a long day or hosting friends for book cub.

Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips

ingredients including white rum, grenadine, lime and ,orange juice,
  • Rum: Use white rum as its neutral flavor lets the other ingredients shine. I like the brand Bacardi. Plantation is also good. Leftover white rum? Try it in our Bob Marley drink or our blueberry mojitos next.
  • Grenadine: Look for one made with real pomegranate for the best flavor. I'm partial to Liber and Co. Look for it near the mixers like tonic water in the grocery or liquor store. You can also make your own. Use leftovers in our Shirley temple.
  • Orange Juice: Use freshly squeezed for the best flavor. Roll it on the counter to help release more juice.
  • Lime Juice: Avoid store bought which can be bitter or overly acidic. Microwave for 15-25 seconds to help them release the most juice.

Krystle's Tips

  1. Chill your glass ahead: This helps your drink stay colder longer without watering it down.
  2. No cocktail shaker? No problem! Use a mason jar instead.
  3. No jigger? 1 tablespoon equals one half ounce.
