Passion fruit syrup can be difficult to find. We located a bottle by contacting a distributor, Fee Brothers. (Call 800-961-3337 or write to info@feebrothers.com) Because the syrup is hard to come by (and artificially flavored) we devised a substitute for it that was well received: a tablespoon of passion fruit sorbet (Häagen Dazs makes one) and a teaspoon of grenadine, per serving.

Ingredients

Serves 1

1 ounce light rum
1 ounce dark rum
1 tablespoon passion fruit syrup
Juice of 1/2 lime
1 teaspoon superfine sugar, or to taste
Ice cubes
  1. Mix all ingredients except ice in shaker. Stir to dissolve sugar. Add ice cubes, shake well, and strain mixture into a cocktail glass.

  • 使用冰沙(找不到替代品Haagen-Dazs, but did find an organic passion fruit sorbet at the "fancy" grocery); worked wonderfully. Unfortunately ran out of rum before the night was over! :)

  • I used the sorbet substitute and it worked perfectly!

  • This is pretty close to what I make, but here's where it differs: I use grenadine as well if I'm in a bar setting, and at home, I make my own hibiscus simple syrup (dried flowers and water and sugar, voila) to give it a deep red color closer to that of Pat O Brien's, and a more complex flavor profile. And it's fantastic. You just have to be careful with the passionfruit you use, because too much will throw the whole drink with a semi bitter aftertaste. But play with the proportions till you taste perfection. And you will.

  • The challenge with the hurricane is to make sure it doesn't get too sweet, is very cold and has the right amount of rum. I had rave reviews from a group of wine drinkers when I made it with passion fruit juice and Appleton's Estate Reserve Jamaican Rum. Skip the sugar and syrup, and don't be afraid of using lots of rum. I prepare it in a shaker and pour into hurricane glasses, filled with ice. Garnish with an orange slice and maraschino cherry.

  • OK as a base, but needs more fruit juices. It is far too strong as is, and not at all like what we serve in new orleans.
