The Base
First and foremost, you'll need light and dark rum to give the Mardi Gras Hurricane its signature kick. You can also use flavored rums like coconut or pineapple to add a tropical twist. Next, passion fruit juice is a must for that vibrant orange color and fruity flavor. If you can't find passion fruit juice, you can also use other tropical juices like pineapple or mango. Finally, to balance out the sweetness, you'll need fresh lime juice to add a tangy kick.
The Mixers
To give the drink its characteristic red color, you'll need grenadine syrup. This sweet syrup not only adds color but also enhances the fruity flavors. For an extra touch of sweetness, you can also add simple syrup. And to top it all off, a splash of club soda adds some bubbles and lightens up the drink.
Preparation
Once you have all your ingredients, it's time to mix up the perfect Mardi Gras Hurricane. Begin by filling a shaker with ice and adding 1 ½ oz of both light and dark rum. Next, add 1 oz of passion fruit juice, ¾ oz of lime juice, ½ oz of grenadine syrup, and ½ oz of simple syrup. Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds, then strain into a hurricane glass filled with ice. Top with a splash of club soda and stir gently. Finally, garnish with a slice of lime or an orange wedge for a festive touch.
Customizations
While the classic Mardi Gras Hurricane is delicious on its own, feel free to get creative and add your own personal touch. For a spicier kick, add a splash of Tabasco sauce or jalapeno syrup. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a splash of orange liqueur or coconut cream. And for a boozy twist, float a shot of 151 rum on top of the drink before serving.
