3. “Zombies”
The recipe for this cocktail was invented in 1934 by the owner of the famous Don Beach bar in California. This tropical drink got its name because of its very fast and intoxicating effect. Juices hide the burning taste of strong alcohol, making the drink soft, but this softness is deceptive. In the original recipe, there are three types of rum, however, if you cannot find any of them, you can add only one.
Ingredients:
- Golden rum (20 ml),
- Dark rum (20 ml),
- Light rum (20 ml),
- Apricot liqueur (15 ml),
- Cherry liqueur (15 ml),
- Pomegranate syrup – grenadine (5 ml),
- Pineapple juice (30 ml),
- Orange juice (30 ml),
- Ice cubes (200 grams),
- Crushed ice (250 grams),
- Orange (1 slice),< /li>
- Cocktail cherry (1 pc.),
- Zombie figurines (for decoration as desired).
Preparation:
1. Mix three types of rum, liqueurs, juices and grenadine in a shaker with ice cubes, then shake vigorously several times so that all components are mixed.
2. Fill serving glasses with crushed ice, pour the mixture from the shaker.
3. Decorate with a slice of orange and a cherry or to your taste – for example, a mint leaf and a zombie figure.
