History
The Zombie Cocktail was created by Don the Beachcomber in 1934. The recipe has evolved a lot but the original as found in Don's personal notes is as follows.
- 3/4 oz lime juice
- 1/2 oz Don's Mix
- 1/2 oz swizzle ou falernum
- 1 1/2 oz Lowndes Jamaïca
- 1 1/2 oz Puerto Rican Dk. (gold)
- 1 oz Demerara 151
- Traits d'Angostura, de grenadine et d'absinthe
Don the Beachcomber also invites you to serve a zombie accompanied by a strawberry.
Zombies are very refreshing cocktails, the sweetness provided by the syrup and the pineapple juice make you forget the alcohol.
