For an extra layer of flavor, try using homemade grenadine. It's surprisingly easy to make and adds a depth of flavor that store-bought versions can't match. Adjust the amount of grenadine to your liking. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a bit more. If you like it less sweet, use a smaller splash. Be careful when floating the high-proof rum – pour it gently over the back of a spoon so it doesn't mix too much with the rest of the cocktail. If you don't have a hurricane glass, any tall glass will work just fine.

Apr 21, 2025I found the high-proof rum to be a bit too strong for my taste, so I reduced the amount slightly. Still delicious!
