Texas Roadhouse Hurricane Margarita - Rocks
This margarita on the rocks is high in histamine from citrus juices, sulfites, and the spirits.
Most of this is cooked to order, which is the best case for histamine. Even so, a restaurant kitchen preps ahead and holds things warm through a service, so freshness varies more than it would at home. The rating above comes from the chain's published ingredients. If a dish is borderline for you, asking how it is prepared tells you more than the menu does.
This is a shaken margarita of pineapple, cherry, lime, orange, and lemon juices with rum, tequila, and molasses over ice.
-
Citrus and spirits — lime juice, orange, and lemon juice are all liberators, and the rum and tequila act as DAO blockers, which is the enzyme that clears histamine, so these together push it high.
-
Sulfites and sweeteners — the sodium metabisulfite is high, while pineapple juice concentrate, cherry juice, molasses, and orange juice each add a moderate layer.
No single swap fixes this drink, so reaching for something else is the smarter call.
