Z-Day!!

It's here, it has come....Z-Day is upon us! Relax, no need to grab your copy of The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks for now cause you might just survive this one with a good night sleep and a few headache pills.
Now, what do you get when you mix this:

Rum with zombies????Well you'd think you might get a missing limb pretty damn soon if you drink during a zombie attack...but no that's not the point, here is what you get:




























The Zombie Cocktail!!!!

Seriously, a zombie cocktail???How in the hell haven't I heard about that before???I mean ME, the zombie freakomaniac!lol

Anyway this deadly cocktail has been invented in the late 1930s by Donn Beach (formerly Ernest Raymond Beaumont-Gannt) of Hollywood's Don The Beachcomber restaurant. The legend wants that Beach concocted it one afternoon for a friend who had dropped by his restaurant before flying to San Francisco. The friend left after having consumed three of them. He returned several days later to complain that he had been turned into a zombie for his entire trip. *here comes the good part lol* Its smooth, fruity taste works to conceal its extremely high alcoholic content *there you go..death dealer!* . For many years the Don the Beachcomber restaurants limited their customers to two Zombies apiece. According to the original recipe, there are the equivalent of 7.5 ounces (2.2 dl) of alcohol in a single Zombie; this is the same as drinking three and a half cocktails made with a fairly generous 2 ounces (0.6 dl) of alcohol per drink. The restaurant limit of two Zombies, therefore, would be the equivalent of 7 regular cocktails.

Well I don't know about you guys but Rum always puts me into Lala-sleepy-land (now I know why pirates were half-dead 90% of the time lol) so this cocktail is not really recommended if you're gonna have to drive after...therefore try it safe at home or when you'll have a transportation option like taxi or subway ok folks!

Here is one of the possible recipes (Donn kept the formula secret for a while so different versions have been invented):

Ingredients

  • 1 oz light rum
  • 1 oz golden rum
  • 1 oz dark rum
  • 1/2 oz apricot brandy
  • 1 oz pineapple juice
  • 1 oz papaya juice
  • Dash of Grenadine or other syrup

Note: 1 oz equals 30 ml

You can add or switch for lime and grapefruit juices (they were the ones used in Donn's recipe)...note that in the original recipe 5 or 6 different kinds of Caribbean rums were used but since they're no longer easily available we have to go for generic ones.

I gave you guys a recipe that "only" contains 3 1/2 oz of alcohol (which is already an almost double regular drink dose!!!) because I think it's best if you can enjoy more than one and also cause you might wanna wait a bit more than 1/2 hour before you fall dead on the floor! XD
I would also personnaly add a dash of CuraƧao or any blue food coloring in order to give it a greener zombier color!

Hope you guys will have fun and you might try the Shaun of the Dead game: Let's Play Zombie!
