If The Mai-Kai were to serve a Hurricane, it might taste something like this. Created and posted on the blog in 2015, it's my take on what a Hurricane could be like using classic Mai-Kai ingredients. Here's an updated version with a few slight adjustments in the rums. This goes out to all our friends in the path of Dorian ... stay safe!

THE MAI-KAI HURRICANE
(By Hurricane Hayward, The Atomic Grog)

• 1.5 ounces Demerara rum (Hamilton 86)
• 1.5 ounces aged Jamaican rum (Appleton Estate Rare Blend)
• 1 ounce dark Jamaican rum (Kohala Bay blend)
  (substitute 0.5 ounce of El Dorado 12 and 0.5 ounce of Smith & Cross Navy rum)
• 1.5 ounces fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 ounce fresh orange juice
• 1.5 ounces passion fruit syrup
• 0.25 ounce fassionola
• 0.5 ounce rich honey mix
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters
• 1 dash Pernod or Herbsaint

Pulse blend with 1 cup of crushed ice. Serve in a Hurricane glass with more crushed ice. Garnish with three cherries, two red and one dark.
