Classic Hurricane Cocktail

We are about to start another summer of let’s try anything.  But this summer is shaping up to be a far different one than the last two. Thankfully right? Travel and making plans is back on the table and we are ready to explore, sample and try new things. But before we go crazy lets go classic, sharing a Classic Hurricane Cocktail to kick off the summer season.

Hurricane and Summer Cocktails

First of all true confession I am fascinated with pretty, colourful drinks.  If you ever check my Instagram while I am on vacation, it is filled with pretty drink pictures. I actually order different cocktails strictly to get a picture, and then of course I drink it. Also before I forget, if you aren’t on my Insta, please go take a look and a follow.  Doesn’t hurt to ask right?

Nothing like a little self promotion as we sample cocktails. But back on track to why we are here, classic summer cocktails of course. Sometimes I want the bright and colourful mixes and then we go classic ( but never basic). The Classic Hurricane is a staple. A drink you can never go wrong with.
