For the Mardi Gras party last week we made hurricanes. I thought I’d post my recipe online partially because they are delicious, lethal (the alcohol really sneaks up on you), and partially because it took be AGES to find grenadine in stores in London. At least a week with Sam and I both going into every shop that we passed on our business.
Rum, rum and more rum. I don’t really know how else to advertise the Mardi Gras classic drink of choice. It brought a little Bourbon Street flair to London.
Hurricane Cocktails:
Ingredients:
4 oz lemon juice (100 ml)
12 oz dark rum
12 oz light rum
10 oz grenedine
10 oz orange juice
10 oz sour mix
3 tablespoons superfine sugar
Instructions:
Just pour all those ingredients into a big pitcher and stir. Couldn’t be more simple, really!
