Zombie Cocktail Recipe & Ingredients

OverviewIngredientsMethod

Zombie

Tropical, fruity and rum-based, the Zombie is one of the original Tiki cocktails. It’s a delicious punch that comes from a man by the name of Don the Beachcomber, who created a new craze for carved mugs and hula fashion.

According to legend, the name comes from a patron who requested something to hide his hangover. Alas, the tropical flavour hid the beverage's high-alcohol content, and left the patron feeling like a "zombie".

Equipment

  • 1 x Strainer

  • 1 x Jigger

Method

  • Ice

    Fill a cocktail shaker with cubes of ice.

  • Pour

    Using a jigger, measure 50ml Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold, 25ml Captain Morgan Original Rum, 15ml Orange Liqueur, 15ml apricot brandy, 50ml orange juice, 25ml pineapple juice, 25ml lime juice and 15ml grenadine into the shaker.

  • Mix

    Shake the mixture vigorously in the cocktail shaker until the surface of the shaker feels chilled. Strain using a strainer into a hurricane glass filled with ice cubes.

  • Garnish

    With a chopping board and sharp knife, cut a wedge of pineapple and place on the rim of the glass. Cut a slice of orange and place next to the pineapple, along with a mint sprig.

  • Grab a bite

    Get some grub in before or while you’re drinking – it slows alcohol absorption.
