The Hurricane Cocktail Reinvented with Nelson's Signature Blend Rum

The classic Hurricane cocktail, a New Orleans favourite, is renowned for its fruity and exotic flavour profile. We're about to put a twist on this beloved concoction by using Nelson's Signature Blend Rum, giving it a distinctive rich character that will leave you craving more.

The Story of the Hurricane Cocktail:

The Hurricane cocktail has its roots in the French Quarter of New Orleans, dating back to the 1940s. It was created at the famous Pat O'Brien's bar as a way to use up excess rum during World War II when whiskey was in short supply. The cocktail quickly gained popularity and has since become a staple in the New Orleans cocktail scene.

Nelson's Signature Blend Rum:

Nelson's Signature Blend Rum is a beautifully crafted spirit, featuring a harmonious blend of the finest Caribbean rums, aged in oak barrels for a rich and smooth flavour. The distinctive taste of Nelson's Signature Blend Rum adds depth and complexity to the classic Hurricane cocktail, elevating it to new heights.

Our Signature Blend Rum Hurricane follows the more traditional recipe using passionfruit and lemon juice.

Ingredients:

  • 50ml Nelson's Signature Blend Rum
  • 50ml Passion fruit syrup
  • 50ml Freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Orange slice and cherry, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
  2. Add Nelson's Signature Blend Rum, passion fruit syrup and lemon juice to the shaker.
  3. Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds until well-chilled.
  4. Strain the mixture into a hurricane glass filled with fresh ice.
  5. Garnish with an orange slice and a cherry, and serve with a straw.

By incorporating Nelson's Signature Blend Rum into the classic Hurricane cocktail, you'll enjoy a vibrant and refreshing drink with a unique flavour profile that pays tribute to its New Orleans origins. This delightful cocktail is perfect for warm summer days, backyard barbecues, or any occasion that calls for a taste of the tropics.

Cheers!
