Our take on the Hurricane is not as sweet and uses less Grenadine, hence more the color of the passion fruit compared to the red Grenadine. This is a great drink for a hot day, slowly sipped. Lots of rum and carbs!

Ingredients
Simple Syrup
Make the simple syrupdepending on how much you need. One Hurricane calls for 2 teaspoons, so we boil water and dissolve the sugar in a small dish. Otherwise use the stove if you’re making a large amount. Heat the water and add an equal amount of sugar.
