Halloween Recipe: Zombie

The first Zombie was created by Beaumont-Gant in the 1930s. Supposedly he named it so because after asking a customer how it was, the customer replied, “I felt like the living dead.”

Ingredients
* 1 ounce light rum
* 1 ounce dark rum
* 3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
* 1 ounce unsweetened pineapple juice
* 1 ounce fresh orange juice
* 1/2 ounce apricot brandy
* 1 ounce passion fruit syrup
* 1 teaspoon superfine sugar

Shake all the ingredients above with ice, then strain into a hurricane glass.
Then float on top:
* 1/2 ounce 151-proof rum

Garnish with something fruity - orange slice or a pineapple wedge would work fine.
The name is a propos for Halloween, and it's a great mind-bending drink for the parties ;)
