Which ingredient is used to top the Hurricane cocktail?

The Hurricane cocktail is traditionally topped with a high-proof rum, which is typically 151 rum. This strong rum is used to enhance the drink's potency and is often floated on top just before serving. The unique characteristic of the Hurricane is its combination of fruity flavors, and the inclusion of 151 rum adds depth and a distinct finish to the drink.

While coconut rum, Blue Curaçao, and grenadine can be components in various cocktail recipes, they do not serve as the traditional topping for a Hurricane cocktail. Instead, they are flavors used in other tropical or fruity drinks. By using 151 rum as a topping, bartenders create a visually appealing and flavorful element that makes the Hurricane stand out among cocktails.
