 THE RECIPE 3oz 504Hibiscus 2oz passion fruit juice 1oz orange juice ½ oz lime juice ¾ oz raw sugar simple syrup ½ oz grenadine Shake on ice in a cocktail shaker and pour. Serves 1. (It's strong - watch out!) THE STORY We first unveiled our recipe for the hurricane in April 2020 to #FestInPlace after all our favorite springtime festivals were cancelled. This cocktail was a fast favorite because it is such a fun twist on a classic. We based our recipe on the old-school hurricane, as opposed to the equal parts sugary and dangerous versions you might find in the French Quarter today. With an extra ounce of rum per serving than almost every other cocktail in our tasting room, ours still packs a punch, though! These have their moment in the sun (literally) during carnival and festival season. They're easy to make in big batches and perfect for #YardiGras.
