Last but not least we have out quick and simple Big Batch Hurricane Cocktail Recipe

12 ounces light rum
12 ounces dark rum
10 ounce grenadine, or passion fruit syrup
10 ounce fresh orange juice
10 ounce sour mix or fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons superfine sugar
Orange wedges, for garnish

Mix all the ingredients in a tall pitcher or large pot and stir to dissolve the sugar. Pour into a punch bowl and add the ice cubes and orange segments. Serve in hurricane glasses and garnish with orange.

Be careful with these, they go down very easily 😉
