Cheers to Hurricane Fay

It’s Hurricane season, and though storms can be scary, we’ve got a few ways to help you cope with the weather: our favorite storm-inspired cocktails. So pull out the booze, the juice, and shake it like a Polaroid.

 

HURRICANE:
1 oz vodka
1 oz gin
1 oz light rum
1/2 oz Bacardi 151
1 oz amaretto almond liqueur
1 oz triple sec
grapefruit juice
pineapple juice
grenadine

Pour liquors into a tall glass filled with ice. Add equal amounts of grapefruit juice and pineapple juice until almost full, and top with a tiny splash of grenadine.

 

DARK AND STORMY:
2 oz Gosling’s Black Seal rum or Myer’s rum
ginger beer

Pour rum into a glass filled with ice and top off with ginger beer.


BLUE LIGHTNING:
1 oz Southern Comfort
1 oz Blue Curacao
1 oz Bourbon
Sour mix
Pour liquors into a tall glass filled with ice and top off with sour mix. Any type of triple sec may be substituted for the Blue Curacao, but the drink is then only called Lightning.


TORNADO:
1 oz whiskey
1 oz rum
1 oz tequila
1 oz vodka
½ T sugar
Coke

Add liquors to a tall glass, then stir in sugar. Add ice cubes, then stir in Coke.

BLIZZARD
1 oz crème de cacao
1 oz Chambord
1 oz vodka
1 oz kahlua or other coffee liqueur
Milk or crème

Add all ingredients to a shaker filled with ice. Shake the cocktail then strain into a glass.

 

EARTHQUAKE
1 oz gin
1 oz whiskey
1 oz absinthe or anise liqueur
Pour all ingredients over ice. Then prepare to see the room spin; the drink was purportedly created by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
