Halloween Cocktails: The Zombie

Halloween Cocktails: The Zombie

There is perhaps nothing more terrifying than the thought of a Zombie. They are among us. The living dead, unstoppable in their pursuit, roaming the streets day and night, looking for a brain to feast on (reminds me of the current election campaigns).

Luckily for us however, the Zombie is also a delicious and powerful beverage. Created in the late 1930’s by the founding father of the Tiki Bar Donn Beach, the Zombie cocktail gained its real fame at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. This amazing drink is preferably enjoyed for occasions such as Day of the Dead and Halloween.  Caution: The Zombie is among one of the strongest drinks, and has been responsible for turning more than a few into mindless wandering souls looking for something to eat.

So have fun serving this drink at your Halloween party, just make sure you call a cab for your guests when they are ready to leave. And perhaps you will have a little fun letting friends know that their ride is on the way! “They’re coming to get you Barbara”.
