Ingredients
- 5 large lemons
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 orange, sliced 1/4 inch thick, plus more for garnish
- 1 lime, halved lengthwise and sliced 1/4 inch thick, plus more for garnish
- 1 1/2 cups pulp-free orange juice
- 1 cup coconut water
- 1 cup dark rum
- 1 cup light rum
- 3/4 cup grenadine
- 3/4 cup pineapple juice
- Maraschino cherries, for garnish
Instructions
- Use a vegetable peeler to remove 2 long strips of lemon peel, being careful not to take any of the white pith, which can be bitter. Juice the lemons; you should have 1 1/4 cups of juice.
- Put the lemon peel, sugar, 1 cup of the lemon juice and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool. Discard the lemon peel.
- Put the orange and lime slices in a large pitcher (or a clean stock pot if you are making an extra-large batch for family and friends). Using a wooden spoon or muddler, lightly bruise the citrus to release some of the juices and essential oils from the skins.
- Stir in the orange juice, coconut water, dark and light rum, grenadine, pineapple juice, the remaining 1/4 cup lemon juice and 1 cup of the lemon syrup. (The remaining syrup can be refrigerated in a covered container for up to 1 week.)
- Thread an orange slice, a lime slice and a maraschino cherry onto each of 8 small skewers. Fill 8 glasses with ice. Pour the hurricanes over the ice and rest a fruit skewer on each glass. Serve with tall bendy straws.
