Cape Ann Hurricanes Recipe From Amanda Nash

Here’s how we got through Irene over at Inn Magnolia:

The Cape Ann Hurricane
2 oz light rum
2 oz pineapple juice
2 oz orange juice
1 oz Bogg’s Cranberry Liquer (replaces the grenadine in the New Orleans version)
1 oz Gosling’s Black Rum

Pour each ingredient in a hurricane glass (okay, we didn’t have any) over ice, slowwwwly so they don’t mix.  Top with a squeeze of lime and a bamboo skewer (all we had handy) with a couple blueberries (a nod to the Downeasters).  Looks great but of course ya gotta stir it before you drink it.
BTW, the fire extinguisher in the photo is NOT part of the recipe!

Cleaning experience required, and experience at inns/hotels/motels would be a big plus. Email me at InnMagnolia@gmail.com or call 978-525-3642
