A very similar recipe (ingredient wise) is found here:

-----------------
It's not so much a "secret" recipe, as a "trademarked" one. Since the Tropical 
Isle restaurant trademarked the name of this drink, they are diligent to go 
after anybody who claims to making it, especially if they also use the name 
"Hand Grenade". This is something that they are required to do in order to 
maintain the trademark. The recipe itself can't really be trademarked, so 
folks are free to mix up the recipe, but call it something else.

------------------
All over Bourbon Street you will find folks selling the Hand Grenade and 
Hurricane powdered pre-mix so you can make the same drinks at home. And to the 
best of my knowledge, the Tropical Isle uses the same pre-mix now in making 
the Hand Grenade, and Pat O'Briens uses their mix for the Hurricane.
