Zombie Cocktail

Rum
Author: The Bar Team
Two Zombie cocktails on a tiled table laid with food.

The Zombie is a bold, tropical cocktail that’s all about big flavours and a vibrant mix of ingredients. Combining spiced and white rum with a generous blend of citrus and fruit juices, it delivers a lively balance of zesty lime, sweet orange and juicy pineapple, finished with a touch of grenadine for colour and sweetness. Bright, fruity and full of character, the Zombie is a standout choice when you’re in the mood for something a little more playful.
