As rum month draws to its inevitable conclusion, one thing became obvious: a lot of the drinks presented was a little too "froufrou". However, that's about to change. Best consumed during a 21st birthday party or distant relative's wedding, this drink will have many in close proximity searching for a shotgun and canned foods. I'm speaking, of course, about the Zombie.
While there are several different ways to create this cocktail, the end result is what truly matters. In fact, that's why its called a Zombie, not a "Wake up bright eyed and bushy tailed". The main culprit in this disaster waiting to happen is none other than our friend Bacardi 151. This is one of the few liquors around that can elicit either of two responses: A large, troublesome grin, followed by a heavily emphasized "Oh, YEAH!", or immediate fleeing in the opposite direction. Its strength is legendary, and may or may not be responsible for many blackouts. Normally, this is where you would be warned about it, but you're an adult, and you can make your own decisions.
Zombie
3/4 oz. White rum
2 oz. Dark rum
3/4 oz. Bacardi 151, or any other 151 proof rum
3/4 oz. Cherry Liqueur
3/4 oz. Orange Juice
1 oz. Lemon Juice
Couple of dashes of Grenadine syrup
In a shaker with ice, combine all ingredients, and strain into a tall glass over crushed ice. If you're feeling extra devious, float a little Meyer's dark rum on the top. Garnish with a cherry, if you are so inclined.
This drink is the equivalent of getting punched in the face by Mike Tyson holding a fistful of gladiolas. Outwardly it may seem benign, but after one sip, the damage is done. Side effects may include (but not limited to) lumbering about aimlessly, groaning, an uncontrollable hunger for human brains, and necrosis (citation needed).
