Method
- Fill a hurricane glass or tall glass with ice and set it aside to chill while you mix the drink.
- Add the light rum, dark rum, passion fruit juice, orange juice, lime juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker. Fill it two-thirds full with ice.
- Seal the shaker and shake hard for 12 to 15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is frosty. Shaking chills and mixes the juices and rum into a smooth, slightly frothy drink.
- Strain the cocktail into the ice-filled glass. Slowly pour the grenadine down the inside edge of the glass so it sinks and creates a sunset gradient.
- Garnish with the orange slice and maraschino cherry. Serve immediately with a straw, and stir gently before sipping if you prefer an evenly mixed drink.
Notes
Passion fruit juice: Look for it in the juice aisle or online. If using purée, mix 1 ounce (30 ml) of purée with 1 ounce (30 ml) of water.
Rum choice: A light Puerto Rican or Virgin Islands rum with a dark Jamaican or aged rum gives a balanced flavor. Use an overproof dark rum for a stronger drink.
Grenadine: Choose a real pomegranate grenadine for the best flavor and color.
Sweetness: Taste and adjust. Reduce the simple syrup if your passion fruit juice is sweetened, or add a splash of lime for more tartness.
Making a pitcher: For 6 drinks, stir together 12 ounces (360 ml) of light rum, 12 ounces (360 ml) of dark rum, 12 ounces (360 ml) of passion fruit juice, 6 ounces (180 ml) of orange juice, 3 ounces (90 ml) of lime juice, and 3 ounces (90 ml) of simple syrup. Chill, then pour over ice and top each glass with a drizzle of grenadine.
Frozen version: Blend all the ingredients except the grenadine with 2 cups (300 g) of ice until slushy, then drizzle the grenadine around the glass.
Alcohol-free version: Replace the rums with 3 ounces (90 ml) of pineapple juice and 1 ounce (30 ml) of chilled black tea, and shake with the juices.
