The Zombie Cocktail @ Small Screen Network

[dan]

There is a new video on Small Screen Network showing how to make a Zombie.

"In its many incarnations The Zombie has become an icon of the tropical drink era spawned by Trader Vic and Don the Beach Comber. As Jeff "Beach Bum" Berry and other cocktail historians re-discover these classic recipes and the "tiki" culture takes off again in this new century The Zombie and it's brethren are poised to make a comeback."

Paulipbartender recently posted an interesting recipe for the Zombie (http://www.refinedvices.com/forum_/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=83). I haven't yet tried it though but I'd love to take the challenge of having three of them! With a dash of glycerine to make it more interesting ;).
