The Zombie is a sweet and fruity cocktail from the Tiki tradition, made with different fruit juices, liqueurs and several kinds of rum. It was first made in late 1934 by Donn Beach at his Hollywood bar and restaurant, Don the Beachcomber. The drink got even more attention when it was served at the 1939 New York World's Fair.
The story goes that Donn Beach created the Zombie cocktail to help a customer get over a hangover before a business meeting. A few days later, the man came back and joked that he had felt like a zombie the entire trip. The drink tastes light and fruity, but it's very strong. Because of this, Don the Beachcomber only allowed two guests to order at a time. Beach once said the drink could make someone feel "like the walking dead."
