Have used limes in a pinch when I don't have lemons but overall I prefer this one with lemon. The Grog Log recipe doesn't call for any sweetener beyond the passionfruit syrup, but with all that lemon juice a d depending on how burnt/bitter your 4 oz. rum choice is you may find that you need to add a little grenadine or simple syrup to hit the right balance. Because everyone assumes a Hurricane should be bright red a splash of grenadine will put the hue of the drink in that direction and add a little balancing sweetness. I'd say shake the drink up according to the recipe first, taste it and then make any necessary sweetener adjustments.
