Zombie Recipe.

Ingredients:

1 ½ oz dark rum
1 ½ oz light rum
1 oz lime juice
½ oz apricot liqueur
½ oz grenadine
1 tsp superfine sugar
1 dash Angostura bitters
1 dash Herbsaint or absinthe
Crushed ice
Mint sprig (for garnish)
Lime wheel (for garnish)
Pineapple leaves (for garnish, optional)

Recipe Instructions:

Begin by chilling a hurricane glass or tall glass in the freezer for a few minutes. This will ensure your Zombie remains refreshingly cool.

In a cocktail shaker, combine the dark rum, light rum, lime juice, apricot liqueur, grenadine, superfine sugar, Angostura bitters, and a dash of Herbsaint or absinthe. The combination of rums, tropical fruit flavors, and a touch of bitterness creates a complex and enticing flavor profile.

Fill the shaker with crushed ice and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. This will thoroughly mix the ingredients and chill the cocktail.

Fill the chilled hurricane glass with fresh crushed ice, packing it tightly to create a solid base.

Strain the shaken mixture into the glass, allowing it to cascade over the ice.

For an extra touch of tropical elegance, garnish your Zombie with a sprig of mint, a lime wheel, and if available, a few pineapple leaves. The garnishes add visual appeal and hint at the exotic flavors awaiting within.
