Hurricane Cocktail
When a New Orleans themed party is going to happen, why not have a 5 gallon pre-mixed Hurricane Cocktail on tap? Super easy to serve, especially if you have a Nitrogen Blended gas setup on a tap, so the cocktail doesn’t carbonate and the gas is used to just push the cocktail out of the keg. I like to use fresh juices when possible, to make a fresher tasting cocktail, that isn’t so sweet and syrupy. This is a perfect blend of flavors, with a few extras to help reduce the hangover effect.

Instructions
- Begin by having a clean and sanitized 5 gallon keg ready and the lid removed. I like to purge the keg with Nitrogen | CO2 Blend, as this gas is heavier than air, helping preventing oxygenation.
- Pour in the silver and gold rum, orange juice, alkaline water (acting as melted ice and also changing the pH to help the body absorb the water better), mango lemonade, peach lemonade, Vitamin Water, coconut water, mango juice | nectar, pineapple juice, blood orange juice passion fruit juice & syrup, along with the Yerba Mate Orange Essence (to add a natural wake me up and flavor). Seal with its lid and attach the Nitrogen | CO2 Blend to the out port on the keg. Turn the regulator to 40 PSI and begin to shake the keg. After a few shakes, lift the pressure relief value to purge any remaining air in the keg. This will also help keep the chance of this cocktail going bad.
- Shake the keg for 3 - 4 minutes, letting the keg fill with gas, while mixing the cocktail.
- Remove the gas line and label the cocktail. Place it into a The libation Trailer, kegerator or other refrigeration and keep below 40°F | 4°C. Before serving, give the keg a shake, just to be sure all the ingredients are mixed.
- Once poured into a hurricane glass, filled with some crushed ice, adding a teaspoon of grenadine syrup to drop to the bottom of the glass, giving it that colored layered effect.
Recipe Notes
Cocktail Variation:
- Substitute the orange juice with 1 1/2 quart tangerine juice, 1/2 quart orange juice and 2 quarts of orange flavored Gatorade.
