A Hawaiian twist on the classic Hurricane cocktail made with passionfruit puree and POG juice instead of orange juice. This fruity, boozy drink is made with two kinds of rum and served over ice in a curvy Hurricane glass.

Let the good times roll! The New Orleans born Hurricane cocktail gets a tropical glow up when you make it with Hawaiian POG Juice.

The original Hurricane cocktail recipe, created in the 1940s at Pat O’Brien’s in New Orleans is made with light and dark rum, orange juice, lime juice, grenadine and passionfruit puree.

I’ve subbed the OJ for Pog Juice, a blend of passionfruit, orange and guava juices, to give it a Hawaiian punch!

The result is a mellow, fruity cocktail that definitely serves vacation vibes! This is the perfect drink to sip poolside or at the beach. It’s great for a luau or a party because you can also make this recipe by the pitcher.

No shade to the New Orleans hurricane cocktail, but this Hawaiian version is amazing! If you love the tropical flavor of this drink, be sure to try my POG Juice Wine Slushies and POG Juice Mimosa.

Tropical Hurricane Ingredients

To make a POG Juice hurricane cocktail, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• Light rum
• Dark rum
• Passion fruit purée – You can use frozen puree from the grocery store or puree made specifically for cocktails, like this type or this kind. Passion fruit syrup or more passion fruit juice can be substituted.
• POG juice – This cocktail is best with homemade POG Juice.
• Lime juice – Fresh squeezed is best. This is the citrus juicer I use.
• Grenadine
• Simple syrup (optional) – Use if you prefer a sweeter cocktail. You can buy this sugar syrup to sweeten cocktails or make it by dissolving 1 cup of sugar in 1 cup of water over medium-low heat.
• Crushed ice
• Orange slices
• Cocktail cherries

How to Make A Hurricane Cocktail

1. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
2. Pour in dark rum and light rum.
3. Add the POG juice and passion fruit puree to the shaker.
4. Add freshly squeezed lime juice, grenadine and simple syrup (if using).
5. Put the top on the shaker and shake until chilled.
6. Strain into a hurricane glass filled with crushed ice.
7. Garnish with orange and pineapple slices and a cocktail cherry.

The curvy Hurricane glass is a key part of the presentation of this cocktail. The glass takes it name from hurricane-style glass lanterns because of the similiarity in shape.

You can also serve a Tropical Hurricane it a highball glass.

Variations & Substitutions

• If you have a hard time finding passion fruit puree, you can use passion fruit syrup, passion fruit juice or even more POG juice.
• If the cocktail isn’t sweet enough for you, add ½ ounce of simple syrup (or more, to taste), more grenadine or even a bit of maraschino cherry juice.
• Golden rum can be substituted for dark rum.
