The zombie is a cocktail created by Donn Beach at his famous Don the Beachcomber restaurant in Hollywood in 1934. It’s made of fruit juices, liqueurs, and various Caribbean rums and drinks (including Angostura bitters). Its name origin is quite funny: Legend has it that Donn Beach originally concocted the zombie to help a hung-over customer get through a business meeting. The customer returned several days later to complain that he had been turned into a zombie for his entire trip. Its smooth, fruity taste works to conceal its extremely high alcoholic content. Don the Beachcomber restaurants limited their customers to two zombies apiece because of their potency, which Beach said could make one “like the walking dead.” via Wikipedia There’s a period zombie drama in there somewhere.
