Hurricane anyone?

August 25, 2011 by 7 Comments

Wow!  New York and other New England states are bracing for Hurricane Irene, due to slam into us starting this Saturday night. 

                        

What to do, what to do?

 

Run to the store, stock up on all the “necessities” that you really won’t need but.. when facing an emergency, one can’t have too many bags of Ranch-flavored Dorito’s or other sinful snacks.  Do remember to charge those cell phones and have plenty of scented (my hubs hates those) candles on hand if the power goes out.   Next….

Drink !!

After one of these, whatever havoc Irene wreaks won’t matter!

                               

For six servings….

6 oz Vodka
1.5 oz Grenadine  Syrup
6 oz Gin
6 oz Light Rum
3 oz Bacardi® 151 rum
6 oz Amaretto Almond Liqueur
6 oz Triple Sec
Grapefruit juice
Pineapple juice

Pour all but the juices, in order listed, into a hurricane glass three-quarters filled with ice. Fill with equal parts of grapefruit and pineapple juice, and serve. 
 
**If you want to make a Frozen Hurricane, put all of the ingredients into a blender, as listed, add ice and blend until all nice and slushy.  Of course, if you lose power and don’t have a generator, just revert to the non-frozen directions.  <s>
