After a brief hiatus from the tiki series, I'm back with the promised
zombie. There is so much rum in this, I can't imagine having more than two.One is probably enough. You have been warned. This is an amalgam of acouple different recipes I liked.Since there's so much ice in this, the float will give you a pop of flavor
when you get to the bottom of the drink, where it's most watered down.Also, feel free to swap the fruit juices for others you may like.
- 1 1/2 ounce white rum
- 1 1/2 ounce gold rum
- 1 ounce demerara (or black strap) rum
- 3/4 ounce grapefruit juice
- 3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
- 3/4 ounce pineapple juice
- 1/2 ounce falernum
- 1 dash Angostura bitters
- 1/2 teaspoon absinth, Pernod, Herbsaint
- 1 teaspoon grenadine
- 1/2 ounce 151-proof rum for float
Put all the components except the 151 rum in a mixing glass. Add ice and
stir until chilled through an well mixed. Pour into a tiki mug or collinsglass packed three-quarters with crushed ice. Add more crushed ice. Topwith the 151 rum float by pouring it carefully over the top of thecocktail.Add a straw, and garnish with a fancy tiki stirrer, a cherry, some mint,
and an umbrella. You can even light the 151 on fire, if you're feelingfrisky.Photos by Lisa Denkinger
