Cocktail: The Zombie

Here’s a spooky Halloween tiki drink that has so many variations. First made back in the 1930’s, and enjoyed at the 1939 World’s Fair, this drink usually has some 151 poured over it, which makes it a real kick in the pants! Other variations (and the original) also have Pernod and a random assortment of infused syrups and concoctions. For this Halloween I made mine bare bones (pun!) and just used the basic ingredients without getting too crazy. There is almost no end to the variations, so feel to mix and experiment for other Zombie creations!

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz Raleigh Rum company spiced rum
  • 1 oz Raleigh Rum company white rum
  • 1 oz Myers’s dark rum
  • 1 oz pineapple juice
  • 1/2 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
  • A splash of grenadine
  • A mint sprig

Combine the rums and juices in a shaker and shake over ice.  Pour into a glass (tiki or otherwise) and then add the splash of grenadine (this would be when you add your 1 oz of 151 if you so prefer). Garnish with a mint sprig and sip while watching Trick-or-Treaters or your favorite Halloween zombie movie!
