History

The Zombie is a legendary Tiki cocktail known for its powerful and intoxicating nature. Created by Donn Beach (aka Don the Beachcomber) in the 1930s, this cocktail was intended to "wake the dead" with its strong mix of rums and tropical flavors. The Zombie typically combines multiple types of rum, such as blended aged rum, column still aged rum, and black blended overproof rum, along with ingredients like Velvet Falernum, lime juice, grapefruit juice, cinnamon syrup, grenadine, Angostura Bitters, and Herbasaint or Absinthe. The result is a complex and deliciously dangerous concoction that will transport you to a tropical paradise. This cocktail is not for the faint of heart, as it packs a serious punch, so sip it slowly and savor the exotic flavors. The Zombie is the perfect choice for those seeking a bold and adventurous cocktail that promises a taste of the Caribbean with every sip.
