So, why would POB change their essential taste and color of their signiture drink? It has to be more than just the conversion into a powder? Was the original red? Did it have lime or oranges in it? And where did Jeff Berry (god be praised) get his recipe anyway?

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).

You might be right. I put some grenadine in one last night and it did redden it up. It also gave it more of the POB taste I remember.

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.
