a cocktail made from rum, fruit juices, and often apricot liqueur or grenadine
Zombie is a potent and exotic cocktail that was invented by Donn Beach, a famous American bartender, in the 1930s. The drink is made by combining several types of rum, typically dark, light, and overproof, with lime juice, pineapple juice, and various fruit syrups such as grenadine and falernum. The mixture is then shaken with ice and strained into a tall glass, often garnished with fruit and a sprig of mint. The zombie has a strong and complex flavor profile, with a rich and boozy taste that is balanced by the sweetness and tanginess of the fruit juices and syrups. The drink is known for its potency, and is often limited to one or two per customer due to its high alcohol content. The zombie has become a classic Tiki cocktail, and is a popular choice at Tiki bars and tropical-themed parties.
