Best Hurricane Martini Recipe

I turn the sweet, fruity and powerful New Orleans cocktail into a martini with my Hurricane Martini Recipe. You’ll be transformed into the  French Quarter with one sip of the familiar cocktail flavors. Laissez Les bons temps rouler!

The Hurricane Martini is a tantalizing twist on the classic Martini, infusing the elegance of the traditional cocktail with a burst of tropical flavors.

This cocktail embodies sophistication with a playful edge, boasting a vibrant hue reminiscent of a stormy sunset. Its essence lies in the fusion of light and dark rum, a splash of passion fruit juice, and a hint of orange liqueur. The result is a harmonious marriage of sweet and tangy notes that dance across the palate, leaving a lingering warmth with every sip.

Serve this cocktail chilled in a martini glass and garnished with a slice of orange or a cherry. The Hurricane Martini is a delightful indulgence that invites you to unwind and savor the richness of its tropical allure.

Then, of course, the Hurricane Punch is the cocktail of New Orleans. Being from a small town, I was amazed when I visited New Orleans and found that you can buy cocktails on every street, like we have Slushy machines. You can publicly drink as long as the cocktail is in a plastic container. Get your mega-Hurricane cocktail and sightsee. There are plenty of sights to behold!

A Hurricane is a sweet, fruity cocktail with a lot of rum. It’s similar to a daiquiri and tastes like spiked Hawaiian punch. New Orleans bar owner Pat O’Brien developed the Hurricane to use his abundance of rum. He served them in hurricane lamp-shaped glasses; this cocktail caught on and has been a New Orleans favorite since the 1940s.

I wanted the same flavors but a more sophisticated feel for my martini. I used light and dark rum, orange juice, grenadine, and lemon in this martini and crowned it with an orange slice. You’ll enjoy this a Bahama Mama with similar flavors.
