Hurricane 007 sits firmly in the rum-slinger, highball-style family: tall, bright, and built for easy drinking. While it nods to the tropical “hurricane” idea with its mix of rums and fruit-forward lengtheners, it reads more like a modern party pour than a historically fixed classic. You’ll find it leans into crowd-pleasing sweetness and a colourful finish, with the dual-rum base giving it a little extra swagger.
On the palate, white rum brings a clean, light backbone while aged rum adds deeper, rounder rum character alongside it. Orange juice tops everything up with soft citrus sweetness, and lemonade stretches the drink into a long, sparkling citrus profile that keeps it lively. A dash of grenadine threads in a gentle red-fruit sweetness and a rosy tint, smoothing the edges and making the citrus feel more candy-bright.
Serve it tall and cold when you want something sociable and unfussy—think barbecues, poolside afternoons, or a big pre-night-out round. It suits you if you like rum drinks that are fruity rather than boozy, with a sweet-leaning finish and plenty of refreshment in every sip.

Cocktail Colin says:
White rum and aged rum lead with a warm, molasses-tinged backbone, while orange juice and lemonade bring bright citrus lift and a fizzy, sweet-tart wash, finished with a dash of grenadine for a candied red-fruit accent. It works because the lemonade’s sparkle lightens the double-rum heft and the orange juice rounds the edges, making it ideal for easygoing highball fans who like sweet, tropical-leaning drinks.

FAQ's
What is the recommended glassware for serving a Hurricane 007?
The Hurricane 007 cocktail is best served in a highball glass, as recommended in its description. This type of glassware complements the drink's volume and presentation.
How does the alcohol content of a Hurricane 007 compare to other cocktails?
With an alcohol content of 9.6%, the Hurricane 007 falls into the moderate range when compared to other cocktails. For instance, classic Margaritas typically hover around 13-15% alcohol by volume (ABV), making the Hurricane 007 slightly less potent.
Is the Hurricane 007 shaken or stirred, and why does it matter?
The Hurricane 007 is not shaken but stirred. This technique is preferred for drinks with a significant amount of non-alcoholic mixers or carbonated ingredients, as stirring avoids over-dilution and preserves the carbonation of the lemonade.
Can I substitute the aged rum in a Hurricane 007 with another type of rum?
Yes, you can substitute the aged rum in a Hurricane 007 with another type of rum, such as spiced rum for a different flavor profile. Bear in mind that using a lighter or darker rum may slightly alter the taste and appearance of the cocktail.
What customization options are there for someone who prefers a sweeter Hurricane 007?
For a sweeter Hurricane 007, you could increase the amount of grenadine or slightly reduce the volume of lemonade. Another option is to add a splash of simple syrup or use a sweeter orange juice variety. Always taste and adjust according to personal preference.
