Transcript:How to Make a Hurricane Cocktail

Hello, my name is Amanda Hertzler and I am a mixologist with the St Julien Hotel & Spa in Boulder, Colorado, and I am here for About.com to show you how to make a hurricane cocktail.

With this drink, you are going to serve it in a highball and you are going to fill up your shaker with ice.

Shake Hurricane Cocktail Ingredients with Ice:

  • 2 ounces of light rum
  • 2 ounces of dark rum
  • 2 ounces of passion fruit juice
  • one ounce of orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon of simple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon of grenadine
  • juice from a half a lime

Strain Hurricane Cocktail and Garnish

Then you are going to chill that and pour it right into that highball. Then you are going to garnish with a cherry and an orange slice. And there's your hurricane. Thank you so much for watching. For more information on cocktails, please visit food.about.com.
