I'm buying 40lbs of ice today or tomorrow morning to throw in my 5 day coolers. JUST in CASE.

I'm preparing this:

Hurricane Cocktail

Ingredients

* 12 ounces light rum
* 12 ounces dark rum
* 10 ounces grenadine, or passion fruit syrup
* 10 ounces fresh orange juice
* 10 ounces sour mix, or fresh lime juice
* 3 tablespoons superfine sugar, or more to taste
* 1 large orange, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices

Directions

Mix all the ingredients in a tall pitcher or large pot and stir to dissolve the sugar. Pour into a punch bowl and add the ice cubes and orange segments. Serve in tall glasses over ice with straws.
