Our recipe for the famous Hurricane cocktail:
To get away and enjoy a good time with family or as a couple, our bartender at La Créole Beach Hotel & Spa at Bar La Rhumerie, reveals his recipe for the famous Hurricane cocktail.
Based on rum, this cocktail is a real explosion of tropical flavors, a real journey!
For the record: this cocktail comes straight from New Orleans, Louisiana... It is said that the recipe was created at the Pat O'Brien bar, for the sole purpose of getting rid of excess rum. This is how the Hurricane became the flagship drink of this emblematic place in the French Quarter of New Orleans!
Although this cocktail is fairly simple to make, it requires a shaker. So don't wait any longer, get your shaker!
Ingredients:
- 6cl Guadeloupean amber rum
- 4 cl of maracuja juice
- 4 cl orange juice
- 2 cl squeezed and filtered lime juice
- 2 cl grenadine syrup
For juices, it is always better to choose fresh fruit and homemade juices.
The preparation:
Fill half a shaker with ice.
Pour all ingredients into a shaker.
Shake it all up.
Strain the ice into a tulip glass and garnish with a nice slice of lemon, orange or cherry. This cocktail is traditionally drunk at Mardi Gras because of its bright and vibrant colors. The tulip glass is preferred for the presentation of this cocktail to highlight these beautiful colors, also called hurricane glass!
An explosion of flavors will delight your taste buds and the Hurricane will essentially be an invitation to travel.
A little tip from the chef: cool the glass before serving, put it in the freezer for a few minutes and serve well chilled!
Beware of side effects, alcohol does not smell very much but it is present in this delicious cocktail! So: consume in moderation according to the recommendations of our chef!
