A take on a classic NOLA cocktail, this Florida Hurricane Cocktail is full of tropical flavors and two types of rum. Served in a tall hurricane glass and garnished with a slice or orange and a maraschino cherry, this tropical cocktail packs a punch.

I am not sure why the one thing not canceled in 2020 is hurricane season!  Between COVID, quarantine, protests, and Lord knows what I’m forgetting, hurricanes are just more than I can handle right now.

So imagine the stress levels when we thought Hurricane Isaias was going to make landfall in Florida.  Well, this big cocktail is the result of that stress.  The coconut rum, guava juice, and pineapple juice make it taste so tropical.  Trust me, after one of these, the stress was gone and I was hoping to see Jim Cantore, from The Weather Channel, bracing himself against the wind whipping around on our little beach.   

WHAT’S IN A FLORIDA HURRICANE COCKTAIL?

  • Rum – both dark rum and coconut rum
  • Juice – guava, pineapple, orange, and lime 
  • Grenadine
  • Simple syrup
  • Slices of orange and maraschino cherries for garnish
