ZOMBIE COCKTAIL Recipe

The Zombie (originally also Zombie Punch) is a very strong cocktail made from rum and fruit juices, which was named after its effect on the consumer and is one of the most famous tiki drinks. The Zombie first appeared as Zombie Punch in the 1930s and goes back to Donn Beach (actually Ernest Raymond Beaumont-Gannt), an entrepreneur who owned, among other things, the Don the Beachcomber restaurant in Hollywood. He allegedly mixed it one afternoon in 1934 for a hungover friend who stopped by this restaurant before leaving for San Francisco. After killing three zombies, he left again. When he returned several days later, he said he had felt like an undead throughout the flight, hence the name zombie.

INGREDIENTS

  • 45 ml/ 1½ oz. Bermuda Black rum
  • 30 ml/ 1 oz. Gold Jamaican rum
  • 20 ml / ¾ oz. overproof rum
  • 30 ml/ 1 oz. pineapple juice
  • 20 ml / ¾ oz. lime juice, freshly sqeezed
  • 15 ml/ ½ oz. Falernum
  • 5 ml/ ⅙ oz. Grenadine syrup
  • 1 dash Angostura bitters
  • 6 drops Pernod

METHOD

  1. Add all ingredients into an electric blender with crushed ice.
  2. Blend for a few seconds.
  3. Serve in a tall tumbler glass.
  4. Garnish with a pinapple slice and a mint sprig.

NOTES

There are many Zombie recipes that essentially have in common that they contain at least three, but often five or six types of rum, including high-proof over 70% by volume. Further ingredients can be fruit liqueurs and various types of fruit juices. The smooth, fruity taste then causes the high alcohol content of the drink to be disguised.

PAINKILLER COCKTAIL Recipe

The Painkiller is a cocktail with Pusser’s rum. Traditionally, dark rum, orange juice, pineapple juice and coconut syrup are mixed first, then shaved ice is added and finally some nutmeg is rubbed on it. The Painkiller is the official cocktail of the British Virgin Islands. It was invented in the 1970s at the Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke Island.

  2. Shake well and strain into highball glass filled with crushed ice.
  3. Sprinkle with fresh ground nutmeg.
  4. Garnish with pineapple wedge.

NOTES

The name of the Soggy Dollar Bar comes from the fact that there is no dock and you can only get there by swimming, so the dollars get wet on the way. Owner Daphne Henderson had the cocktail with Pusser’s rum on her menu and Pusser’s founder Charles Tobias thought the cocktail was so good that he later adopted it. The Painkiller Signature Drink from Pusser’s is now known around the world.

Irish Mule Cocktail Recipe

1 Comment
How to make the Irish Mule cocktail

The Irish Mule cocktail is a whiskey-based spin on the Moscow mule, a classic cocktail invented in the 1940’s. When it was first invented, this drink may have been a ploy to sell vodka, ginger beer and copper mugs. The mule is part of a family of cocktails called bucks: drinks made with ginger beer or ale, citrus juice, and liquor. So a Moscow mule is a vodka buck, and an Irish mule is a whiskey buck!

INGREDIENTS

  • 60 ml/ 2 oz. Irish whiskey
  • 15 ml/ ½ oz. lime juice, freshly squeezed
  • 180 ml/ 6 oz. Ginger Beer
  • lime wedges

METHOD

  1. Squeeze lime juice into a Moscow Mule mug (or a Collins glass) and drop in the spent shell.
  2. Add 2 or 3 ice cubes, then pour in the Irish whiskey and fill with cold ginger beer (not ginger ale, although what the hell).
  3. Garnish with a mint sprig.

NOTES

And here are my recipes of Moscow Mule and a special X-mas mule recipe.
