Zombie Cocktail recipes vary but this is my favorite. I serve them in a rocks glass over ice with the 151 lit on fire for effect. While this is sure to wow your ghoulish guests, just make sure to blow it out before partaking—The undead really don’t like to be on fire:
- 1/2 oz 151 rum
- 1 oz pineapple juice
- 1 oz orange juice
- 1/2 oz apricot brandy
- 1 tsp simple syrup
- 2 oz light rum
- 1 oz dark rum
This, my delightful deviants, is the correct way to make an authentic Zombie. Do not let the pretty blue color of Bacardi’s “Zombie” pre-mixed and ready to pour and serve bottle lead you astray. I will shame you for the rest of your undead life. I repeat, BLUE Zombies are not Zombies at all.
The Zombie became exceptionally popular during the Tiki era and was concocted in 1934. This drink will surely intoxicate you rotten feet first and I dare say that consumption of two or more might do exactly what the name implies—make you into a Zombie. Bottoms up Kittens and Viva la Liquor!
