Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 shots coconut rum 3 oz
  • 1 shot triple sec 1.5 oz
  • 6 ounces pineapple juice
  • 2 tablespoons grenadine
  • Ice cubes
  • Pineapple slices for garnish
  • Maraschino cherries for garnish

Method
 

  1. Fill a hurricane glass (or any tall glass) with ice cubes. Fill it all the way to the top—you want that drink ice cold!
  2. Pour in 2 shots of coconut rum and 1 shot of triple sec over the ice. These form the base of your Hurricane and provide that smooth, tropical flavor.
  3. Top off the glass with 6 ounces of pineapple juice, leaving just a little room at the top. Stir gently to combine the rum, triple sec, and pineapple juice.
  4. To create that signature layered gradient, slowly pour the grenadine into the glass from the side, letting it trickle down. Don’t stir—just let it settle naturally. The grenadine will sink to the bottom, creating that beautiful red-to-yellow ombre effect.
  5. Garnish with pineapple slices and maraschino cherries. You can skewer them on a cocktail pick for extra flair. Add a fun straw and serve immediately.
  6. Enjoy your tropical Hurricane. Sip slowly and savor that New Orleans magic.
