@Wolfsbane909 You have no idea what the hell you're talkin about. Read a book man.

Ok guys. I had a layered Zombie in China a few weeks ago and it tasted awful. Zombie is not layered. Period. I think Mr. Wolfsbane909 is just trying to annoy everyone. Let's forget this nonsense and go drink some Zombie (preferably the 1934 version).

[jokeiii]

@Wolfsbane909 The problem which you simply refuse to address, for reasons I cannot understand, is that the recipe seen above is the one FROM THE MAN WHO INVENTED THE ZOMBIE. All the low-level bartending schools teach the layered Zombie, but that is incorrect. If you think the inventor of the Zombie intended it to be layered then...prove it.

[Wolfsbane909]

@jokeiii btw smart guy, u drag the straw up as zip the drink getting a little bit of each flavor in the layers. This isn't OBVIOUS to u? *sigh* did u just seriously chug it down straight like that layered? oh thanks this is worth a good chuckle! Do u want me to draw u a diagram? Would that make it easier for u? lol >.<

[Wolfsbane909]

@jokeiii lol @ u! u obviously don't even know how to drink an zombie! Ok, I think I am done talking 2 u as you don't even know how to drink it. Almost all bartending schools teach this as a layered drink? huh so what happened bartenders go retarded, lazy or just both?

[jokeiii]

@Wolfsbane909 Um, NO. The Zombie was NOT invented in Europe. So, you can argue all you want that the guy who INVENTED the Zombie (that is, Don the Beachcomber) didn't know what he was doing, which is fine. All I ask -- and good luck with this -- is that you prove to me that Don the Beachcomber meant for this cocktail to be layered. And, for the record, MOST places (and almost all bertending schools) in the USA teach this as a layered drink. Which, of course, is not as good.

[Wolfsbane909]

@Wolfsbane909 also like to add, just simply because YOU don't know how to even layer a zombie doesn't mean it can't be done. If u r too lazy, or stupid to attempt such a drink doesn't mean that everyone else in the rest of the world is as lazy as U! Such a crime to see this fine drink butchered to shit.

[Wolfsbane909]

@jokeiii u never had a layered Zombie in the first place. Go to Europe or anywhere else, the zombie has ALWAYS been layered, it's just an excuse by a lazy Bartender. Try a layered zombie and then tried that cheap unskilled mix that even an 3 year old can make. BTW in case if u haven't noticed there's an unique way to drink a layered zombie if u ever had a REAL zombie cocktail. It's sad really such a wonderful drink made incorrectly *sigh*

[jokeiii]

@Wolfsbane909 No. Zombies are not layered. There are plenty of bars in America that make them layered and that is incorrect. The Zombie was invented by Don the Beachcomber at his Hollywood bar, and when invented it -- we know because his original recipe notebooks dating back to 1934 have been found -- and the drink he invented is, emphatically, not layered. It doesn't matter how the rest of America or the rest of the world makes it. The man who invented it should know how he wanted it done.

@Vicbartender1990 typical in America, u guys always get it ass back wards on the other side of the world. I am in China.
