The Zombie Cocktail Recipe - a MONSTER tiki

Описание: The zombie may very easily be the scariest tiki cocktail known to mankind! During the early years of tiki, men typically did not drink cocktails mixed with fruit juices, as it wasn't seen as a masculine thing to do. As a response, Don the Beachcomber developed the zombie recipe to call for multiple boozes, including high proof spirits, to create a tiki drink that would intimidate even the strongest of drinkers. Cleverly naming it after a monster and enforcing a two drink limit on the menus did the trick, and soon drinking the zombie was seen as a challenge, and a feat of strength.

What's incredible to me is how smooth this cocktail can be. With so much alcohol, this is a dangerous drink because you don't notice it so much at first. Give it time, though, and this one will will sneak up on you. Drinkers beware!
