Hurricane Ethel
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.68 / 5
The Hurricane Ethel is a vibrant and tropically-inspired cocktail that boasts a rich red hue and a multilayered flavor profile. This drink is typically served in a highball glass and combines the sweet, tangy essence of pineapple juice with the citrus notes of triple sec and the complexity of white rum. A generous measure of grenadine adds both sweetness and a depth of color, while overproof rum provides a potent kick. The result is a fruity and powerful concoction that packs a punch, reminiscent of tropical storms after which it could be named. Its bold flavors make the Hurricane Ethel a memorable choice for those who enjoy strong and sweet tropical cocktails.
