I found a recipe for a cocktail called a Hurricane in Wine Enthusiast
magazine. From what I could tell, it was non-traditional, so I decided to take
their recipe, run with it, and rename it as a Southern Hurricane. Let me tell
you, this thing is good! If you are frustrated with life at the moment, family,
friends, or even yourself, one glass of this and you simply won’t care anymore.
I think this is going to be my signature summer cocktail. You might consider
doing the same.
Southern Hurricane
Adapted from Wine Enthusiast
2 oz. light rum
2 oz. dark rum
2 oz. pineapple rum
2 oz. passion
fruit juice
1 oz. pineapple juice
2 oz. orange juice
¾ oz. fresh lime juice
½ oz. grenadine
An orange slice and a cherry
for garnish
Not to mention a fancy
straw
Combine all ingredients (except for the garnish) in a cocktail
shaker with ice. Shake for 30 seconds and pour
into a hurricane
glass, that failing, a large brandy snifter
will do. Add chipped ice and garnish, and serve. Serves 1 to 2. Frankly, I
drank this myself.

Haha, forget servings for 2, I'd drink it myself too. Is it anything like a New Orleans hurricane? I had a hefty hangover after one of those back in the 1990s (which was relieved by beignets and Cafe Au Lait at Cafe Du Monde!)
Linda, it’s very similar except I omit the simple syrup (who needs that?), and added pineapple rum instead of pineapple juice.
oh wow. which reminds me i had an old fashion a few weeks back. I had never had one before and it was so good.
