The original recipe is said to have put 4 ounces of rum with 2 ounces of passion fruit syrup and s2 ounces of lemon juice. The concoction was then placed in a glass shaped like a hurricane lantern and thus the name for the cocktail. Unfortunately the original cocktail seems to have been lost in the shuffle of time and mixocology. Today there are as many recipes for this famous cocktail as there are bartender's mixing them.
Patty O'Brien's Hurricane
- 4 oz. Dark Rum
- 2 oz. Passion Fruit Syrup
- 2 oz. Lemon Juice
In 1944 Pat O;Brien trademarked his "Hurricane Mix in packets that you could as the story goes just add a bit of rum to and you would have a "Hurricane Cocktail" at home. The real problem lies in that you cant even get an "Authentic Hurricane" even at it place of origin.
There is "Hurricane " in the Bahama's that is a different cocktail made from 151 rum, Irish Cream, and Grand Mariner, that is commonly found in many bars in Nassau. There are several variations of this cocktail also as you travel around the Bahamas.

- 1 oz. Cranberry Juice
This is only one of the thousands of recipes fora "Hurricane" today, but you will find the spirit of Patty O'Brien in all of them you get to experience today. ;o)
