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 syrup depending 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.
  • 1 TBSP sugar 12 CHO
  • 1 TBSP water 0 CHO
  • TOTAL CHO 12 CHO
  • TOTAL WEIGHT 25 GRAMS
  • 12 CHO DIVIDED BY 25 GRAMS = .048 CHO/GRAM
  • 1 TSP = 5 GRAMS (.048 CHO x 5 GRAMS) 2.4 CHO/TSP.

1 TSP. = 2.4 CHO
