THE ZOMBIE WAS INVENTED BY DONN BEACH, OF HOLLYWOOD’S DON THE BEACHCOMBER RESTAURANTS, IN THE LATE 1930S. THIS VINTAGE COCKTAIL IS CALLED ZOMBIE BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT IT CAN TURN ITS DRINKER INTO.

It’s a high-octane cocktail full of delicious fruit juices that make you feel like you’re downing sophisticated candy. But that deliciousness hides quite a lot of liquor. There are several variations on this cocktail. This version is more or less the classic.
Recipe
House secret spirit mix (shhh), orange, passionfruit, lime, grenadine, bitters. Shake all the ingredients except for the 151-proof rum together in a shaker. Pour the mixture into a glass (this one just calls out for a funky-shaped glass). Pour the 151-proof rum on the top of the drink.
