 Welcome to Drinks Made Easy. Today we're taking a look at a classic tiki drink, the zombie. Now Don the Beachcomber created this in 1934 and this is a strong drink. Dude, that is a lot. Be careful. Mmm, okay. I warned ya. Legend even has it that he made this for a guy who was dying from alcohol withdrawal and he brought him back to life, hence the zombie. To build the zombie you'll start with one and a half ounces of Jamaican rum. Next you'll add one and a half ounces of Puerto Rican gold rum. One ounce of Demerara 151 rum. Half an ounce of Flernum. Half an ounce of Don's Mix. Now to make Don's Mix it's super easy. Just one cup of sugar, one cup of water and three cinnamon sticks into a pot. Bring that to a boil. Now before you heat it, crush up the cinnamon sticks so that you can pull as much flavor from that cinnamon as possible. After you've brought it to a boil just bring it down to a simmer for about two minutes, let it cool and then strain that into its own vessel. Separately you're going to juice some grapefruit and it's going to be two parts of grapefruit juice per one part of that cinnamon syrup. So for example, two ounces of grapefruit juice, one ounce of the cinnamon syrup and there you have Don's Mix. Three quarters of an ounce of fresh lime juice. Half a teaspoon of grenadine and five drops of absinthe. Last but not least, one dash of Angostura bitters. Cap that off into a shaker tin full of six ounces of crushed ice and give it a quick shake. Now if you want you can also use a blender. A lot of tiki bars will use those because it gives rapid aeration and rapid dilution. Also if you're making a whole bunch of these it's a heck of a lot faster doing a blender. You could do 10, 12 of these at a time. Pour it into your hurricane glass or if you've got one of the fun tiki glasses this is a great opportunity to pull those out and use them. Fill it with ice, garnish with some mint and just give it a couple of slaps and that's going to help bring out the oils of the mint. So when you go in and take a drink you're going to get a lot more of that mint smell. Put in your straw and there you have your zombie. You sure you need any more of that Mike? Yeah.
