Known as the Zombie drink, the cocktail was invented in the 1930s by Donn Beach. The drink was invented by Beach to help a customer attend a business conference. The drink was made using dark rum, fruit liqueurs and other ingredients. The drink was served in a glass with a maraschino cherry garnish.
There are many versions of this popular Tiki drink. Some versions contain 151-proof rum and others use light rum as a base. There are many variations, including those made with passion fruit syrup and fruit juices. It's served over ice with a cherry garnish.
Vic Bergeron claimed that he created the Zombie beverage, but in reality he was a rival to Donn Beachcomber. Both men were involved during the Tiki craze. Berry, who was notoriously sceptical about his cocktail recipes discovered the original Zombie recipe in an old Beachcomber employee's book. Sippin’ Safari, the book that was published, was based upon a notebook Dick Santiago (a former waiter at Don the Beachcombers) kept. Jeff Berry (a tiki revivalist) later discovered the book. He used the book as a guide to reconstructing the recipe.
The cocktail is served in a highball glass. The drink includes three types, as well grenadine syrup, passion fruit syrup, as well fruit juices. The drink is served with a cherry garnish, and a pineapple wedge. The cocktail is served over ice, and is often served in Tiki fashion.
It was invented by Donn Beach in the late 1930s. The drink was originally made with Bacardi 151 rum, pineapple juice, lime juice, and simple syrup. At the 1939 New York World's Fair, the drink was very popular. The classic recipe is not the only one available. There are variations that include higher-proof rums and greater quantities of fruits.
The drink has strong tropical flavour. It can be made using 151-proof rum or light rum. You can also add bottled papaya juice to the mix. You can have the drink served with ice, or crushed ice. You can either serve it in a Zombie, or highball glass. Applebee's Neighborhood Drink Menu offers the Zombie. The Zombie is available at Applebee's Neighborhood Drink menu for $1 during October.
It is believed that Donn Beach changed the recipe several times. In his Hollywood restaurant, Donn Beach served the cocktail through a hole in the wall. This was to protect the recipe from competitors. However, this strategy led to the recipe devolving into syrup laden mediocrity. Beachbum Berry found Donn's original recipe in 2005 and incorporated it into a book that he had written. Sippin’ Safari has a chapter dedicated to the drink. Berry also got to know former Beachcomber employees. Berry also met former Beachcomber employees. He found the recipe in Santiago's notebook and discovered Don's codes numbers. These correspond to the bottles in the restaurant.
The original recipe was intended to improve on the original drink. However, Beach was cagey about sharing the recipe, and it is believed that he changed it several times.
