Blue Hurricane
A vibrant, frozen twist on the New Orleans classic. This electric blue concoction blends white and dark rums with passion fruit liqueur and citrus for a refreshing tropical escape.
What it tastes like
The aroma is dominated by passion fruit and bright citrus from the blue curaçao. It has a heavy, icy texture that carries sharp lemon and lime flavors balanced by the molasses notes of the dark rum. The finish is cold and sugary with a mild orange peel bitterness.
