I love the one above. I even add a splash of grenadine to help redden the color. I'm a skeptic and agnostic. Show me proof beyond that of the Beachbum (god be praised). It may be as simple as a customer or two thought it was too tart and asked for it to be sweeter. The bartender obliged and added some grenadine. Then more people wanted the "pretty" version, and finally they just started making all the Hurricanes sweeter and redder.
