Zombie 

The Zombie is a Tiki cocktail made of fruit juices, liqueurs and various rums. It first appeared in late 1934, invented by Donn Beach at his Hollywood Don the Beachcomber restaurant. It was popularized on the east coast soon afterward at the 1939 New York World's Fair.

• 1 teaspoon grenadine
• 4 dashes Pernod (Pernod is an anise liqueur and absinthe brand that originated in France)
• 1 dash Angostura bitters
• Garnish: mint sprig

Directions:

1. Add the Jamaica rum, Puerto Rican gold rum, demerara rum, Pernod, lime juice, Donn’s mix, falernum, grenadine and bitters into a blender, then add 6 ounces of crushed ice.
