Master The Classics: Hurricane

[@cnhoffman]

Leandro, can you do a tutorial about what faces I should make while I'm shaking a cocktail?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

CNHphoto yes!

[@kingjory28]

Haha

[@jimfererro1493]

Halving the volumes, and serving in a white wine glass, keeps the drinks flavor, but also keeps your guests upright and alert. When this drink was developed, none of the bars had AC. Imagine a hot New Orleans night and the original Hurricane. I bet there were a lot of over-served people staggering around.

[@weasel1053]

Sir: I took a shot at the Hurricane. I tried yours and two other recipes. No surprise yours was the best! Thanks!

[@metamorphicorder]

You should do a series on 'bad drinks' like drinks you or most bartenders try to talk people out of or turn their nose up at or just sort of phone in when they have to make them. Or, drinks that are commonly made poorly even when made the way they are supposed to be and how you improve them either with substitutions of ingredients or the use of higher quality versions of the actual ingredients.

Extra dry vodka martini. Dirty with extra olives please.

Love the history you give on your drinks keep making videos man your awesome

[@lewlsorr]

I have stayed away from Hurricanes just because the fassionola is so complex to make and not available to buy. I saw another video claiming that the same recipe you used was the original recipe and the fassionola came in later but who knows after all these years. I happened to have some lemons and homemade passionfruit syrap (250g+250g sugar and water & 6 passionfruits) so I tried the recipe cut in half just to taste and man what a drink this is, easy to drink and very boozy! The only rum I had at hand was the Plantation Grand Reserve and I think it came out nice - I will definitely make it again but with another rum next time. Keep it up!

[@lrvogt1257]

I just recently discovered the Hurricane. In fact, I'd never tasted Passionfruit before. I do: 1 Plantation Original Dark, 1 Pussers Admiralty Blend, 1 Passionfruit Purée, 1 Lemon Juice. I throw in a touch of grenadine for color. So delicious.

[@peterberger3268]

Thank you so much for this vid. I k ow I have sent you a more then a few requests for this. The fact you did it is awesome and you make it completely different to me. Can't wait to try your more authentic version. Thank you again 😊

[@mkneiss]

the restraint shown to not sing “it’s 5 o’clock somewhere” during this is truly superhuman also still hoping the glass straw folks will sponsor one of your videos! I have straws, but would gladly get more if it supported the show

[@ashleymeggan]

Well, that’s a country song, and it’s a New Orleans drink. So.

[@tombeaudette8083]

going to feature this drink at the Buck wallow Lodge this weekend Thanks Dude Awsome as allways

[@wecontrolthevideo]

Just down the gulf in Panama City Beach. many bars make the Hurricane. One beach bar served it in a 32 oz squeeze bottle filled with ice cubes. That would keep you happy for a while!. Even had the option for refills.

[@DarkFaerie316]

Another interesting drink that I want to try. Can this be made with spiced rum or would that alter the flavour profile too much? I was given a bottle of Captain Morgans at the weekend and was wondering if it could be used here?

[@astralgen]

Personally, I would advise against it. Spiced rum usually isn't a great idea in cocktails because you don't necessarily know what spices have been added and how they will pair. That being said, if you have it, go ahead and try it. If you like it, that's great. Don't let anyone yuck your yum

[@DarkFaerie316]

@@astralgen thank you :) I may try a small one just to see how it goes. If it doesn't work out, there is always coca cola and ice :)

[@MisadelphiaSAR]

If you like the taste of Captain Morgan, then go for it! But there are so many better rums out there that are worth trying! Look for Coruba or Myers's for this drink. The drink would taste a lot better with either of those. Gosling's black seal would probably be good too. I would also advise against Captain Morgan, because I don't like it very much, and find that it tastes bad unless you mix it with Coke

[@DarkFaerie316]

@@MisadelphiaSAR thank you :) I like captain Morgan's but definitely others are worth trying. Will have a look around and see what I can find

[@ChemicalMarco]

Made this yesterday and oh my god it's so good! And also so boozy! Looking forward to trying with your specs and method! Cheers Leandro!

[@firebricks3]

That's the Smuggler's Cove version, but I thought the original used Fassionola syrup instead. Do you think this is true?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Chris Frericks I wrote a whole thing on Fassionola below...

[@marcinlesnicki9337]

What is shelf-life of your passion fruit syrup? I wonder if it will last at least 2 weeks with a shot of vodka as a preservative, in many recipes it is stated that it goes bad after 2-3 days.

[@Eckehardt_]

where did you get your hands on Coruba in the LA area?

[@renaudduquette7238]

great video as always! More videos on syrups and ingredient recipes please!! I learned a great deal from those videos! would love to see more.

[@roosterguy4958]

So if I have the fassionola would I just add that with the other ingredients or does that take the place of something

[@granthemstreet3209]

In Louisiana (resident here), you can get drive-through alcohol but the places are required to "seal" the straw hole with tape. that way, if you get pulled over, and a little is missing off the top or whatever, then they know you tampered with the seal.

[@renaudduquette7238]

Hey Leandro, I want to make this cocktail but I only have Marie Brizzard Passionfruit syrup. Should I scale back/up the measurements since it is definetly not looking like a purée and more like an amber colored clear syrup? Anyway maybe I will make only a small one cause I only have Appleton Estate 12 on hands and don't feel like wasting 12oz of it figuring out proportion lol. Was just wondering if you have ever tried it with a more generic passionfruit syrup and if so is it worth a try?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

That Passionfruit syrup will work you just may have to adjust for sweetness

[@renaudduquette7238]

@@TheEducatedBarfly thanks! I tried the recipe and it is wonderful! Tastes very fruity tropical and amazing!

[@TheLobokendo]

We have drive thru daiquiri shops (the frozen kind) but the driver is not allowed to drink it or even have a straw in the cup.

[@r00tsrockreggae1]

I'm trying to create a version of this cocktail replacing the passion fruit syrup with some passion fruit mezcal that I got here in Mexico. However I'm not sure what to use to add the sweet part of the cocktail. Any ideas here?

[@musicrules868838]

Hey Leandro, any chance you have a link for the glass bottles you use for your juices and syrups?? I’d love the bottles with the caps you use as opposed to flip caps (what I currently have)

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Hi Kenny, those are the large Fever Tree soda water bottles cleaned and reused.

[@musicrules868838]

The Educated Barfly thanks so much for the reply! The caps are screw on caps with the larger size Fever Tree bottles? Or are those different caps?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Kenny Hynes the larger bottles have screw on caps

[@musicrules868838]

The Educated Barfly thanks so much for the reply! Love your content, I’m a new mixology hobbyist, and I’m a daily watcher of your videos. Keep up the awesome work!!

[@javisvperez]

Hey Leandro 😀, what is lime and lemon for you? In my country lime = the yellow ones and lemon = the green ones, but I know it can be different in some countries. I just want to make sure I’m using the right stuff, thank you! 🤘

[@Spain456]

Javis V. Pérez Lime is the green one and lemon is the yellow

Is passion fruit syrup readily available in grocery store down the street ?

Hasil Atkins So then I still have to buy passion fruit purée, yes ? Mix purée with equal amount of 1:1 syrup ? I mean how does one make this passion fruit syrup ? I am willing to make it if I know how

Awesome Simple! More Tiki drinks please!

⚜️🥂 So YUMMY.. Yyyyyyeeeeeessssss its easy to over do it, drinking those 🙃⚜️🥂!!

[@MisadelphiaSAR]

You don't need a hurricane to do that to an umbrella. All you need is Boston weather

[@JosephTheBurrito]

Do you insist on making your own passion fruit syrup, and if so, how do you do it?

[@roosterguy4958]

How long can I refrigerate my lime juice and lemon juice before I should throw them out

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Mike Roos 24 hours 48 if you want to really push it. Better to squeeze as needed

[@loristevens6162]

I love Hurricanes, well the drink. From South Louisiana so the drive thru daiquiris thing isn't just in New Orleans and if you can find it, Pat O'Brien has a mix you can get. So you just add ice and rum. Easy peasy. 🙂😉

[@kittykanino5558]

Love your Channel great drink to make

[@markbowerii7632]

Could you sub this syrup for liber & Co? I understand they make excellent syrups.

[@pauldi7268]

Would love a video, how to make fashionola syrup

[@ashleymeggan]

I’ve always heard 2 oz light, 2 oz dark, but I do 1 oz 151, 1 oz dark, 2 oz light.

[@SuperHooverdam]

I had a friend lose his job because he served us these for an hour and the limit was supposed to be 3 drinks.

[@MrFokker4me]

I love these New Orleans cocktails.

[@ctwiggs]

I had a few of these while waiting for Hurricane Dorian to pass by. People asking for a hurricane? Be careful what you wish for.

[@RagingDemon99]

First time I tried this drink was during a hurricane lol.

[@timk1480]

New Orleans seals the daiquiri containers. If you punch through with your straw it’s considered open and illegal

[@blooodytwins]

I’m glad you struggle to say passion fruit purée as much as me

[@Strawberry92fs]

Well yea, if you don't worry about putting fassionola in it it's an easy drink XD

[@arbeckWA]

If you don't mind HFCS and lots of artificial flavors, you can Jonathan English Fassinola. It's probably the closest thing to what was originally used. Cocktail and Sons makes a seasonal Fassinola that is good, but I don't think it makes a great Hurricane. It's a little to subtle. BG Reynolds now makes a Fassinola that should be pretty widely available and makes the best version of the drink I've had.

[@nbr1rckr]

[@brazwewn]

They put the straw on top of the styrofoam cup. If they put the straw in the cup that would be enticing you to drink and drive. You are expected to go somewhere else and drink it.

[@paulcoulonjr]

Most people who get them in New Orleans walk around with them

[@TheLobokendo]

Also... this isn't a hurricane... no fassionola... no light rum... this is a cheater way to make a semi hurricane... I expect better from you.

[@joniggemeier]

I am just saying that 4oz of rum is just too much in a single drink, atleast for me.

[@sam11443]

Luckily this is easily scaled down, just put in half of everything ;)
