Hurricane Cocktail

Hurricane Cocktail

This hurricane cocktail is refreshing with less sugar and calories than the original. The fruit-forward flavor is amplified by passion fruit-flavored sparkling water, which adds effervescence and a sweet floral finish. Serve this drink for Mardi Gras or anytime you want a fruity cocktail.

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup fresh orange juice
  • 2 ounces light rum
  • 2 ounces dark rum
  • ¼ cup passion fruit nectar
  • 2 tablespoons grenadine or maraschino cherry juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • Ice
  • ½ cup passion fruit-flavored sparkling water (such as LaCroix)
  • Maraschino cherries with stems and orange slices for garnish

Instructions:

Combine orange juice, light rum, dark rum, passion fruit nectar, grenadine (or cherry juice) and lime juice in a cocktail shaker. Add ice. Cover and shake vigorously until chilled, about 30 seconds. Strain the mixture evenly into 2 ice-filled hurricane glasses. Top each with ¼ cup sparkling water. Garnish with a cherry and an orange slice, if desired.
