Instructions
Simple Syrup
In a large pot over medium-high heat, add water and granulated sugar. Stir to dissolve sugar. Cook about 6 minutes or until mixture appears clear and starts to boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 2 more minutes. Remove pot from heat; allow to cool to room temperature. Pour into a large uncovered airtight container. Refrigerate uncovered; cool before covering.
Assembly
Mix all ingredients in a shaker. Strain into a hurricane glass with ice. Garnish with sliced oranges and maraschino cherries.
Chef's Tip
For some Mardi Gras flair, wrap the hurricane glasses with festive beads!
