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

> How did this site get their hands on this secret recipe?
-----------------
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
"HandGrenade". 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 HandGrenade 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 HandGrenade, and Pat O'Briens uses their mix for the Hurricane.
