Description: It's Halloween! And as such it seems appropriate to deep dive the Zombie cocktail. Created by Don The Beachcomber in the early 1930's the Zombie really has stood the test of time. The early Tiki bar owners and bartenders were a bit like pirates. After Donn Beach kicked off the tiki craze, he went to great lengths to keep his recipes secret so that those original formulas wouldn't fall into the wrong hands. The Tiki bars of that era spied on each other in order to steal recipes, stole each other's bartenders and went to great lengths to get the edge on one another. The result of this was Donn Beach taking many of his recipes to the grave. Luckily, some of his employees (Bartenders and Waiters) wrote recipes down and with a little sleuthing Jeff "Beachbum" Berry was able to decode many of the original formulas, including the Zombie. Like all good popular classics, the Zombie (despite being a rather unbalanced drink) gave birth to many many many riffs. Today we deep dive into the formulas and try the first three of seven. Hope you enjoy, have a safe Halloween and of course drink a few zombies to ring in the season! 🍸 Top tools we recommend 🥄 Antique Style Weighted Tin Set: amzn.to/2YnjvHH Barfly Measuring Cup Jigger: amzn.to/3j4jFfe Barfly Mixing Glass (17oz): amzn.to/3iP1DNv GE Pebble Ice Machine: amzn.to/3oRw2yl Large Hand Juicer: amzn.to/3GhI3GB Brûlée Torch: amzn.to/3lWZFiM Hamilton Beach Drink Mixer: amzn.to/3hj0igX Barfly Y Peeler: amzn.to/3mYmFwb Bar Ice Scoop: amzn.to/2Qf5KGT Mercer Demascus 5" Bar Knife: amzn.to/3E2fgUj Our Glassware in Collaboration Amehla 🍸 Nick and Nora Cocktail Coupes amzn.to/3oJKtHw 🥃 Old Fashioned Glass Heavy Base amzn.to/2Yuv42Q Full Store amazon.com/shop/theeducatedbarfly Crew Supply Co Reusable Bottles use the code BARFLY for 10% OFF bit.ly/3iqdwvL 00:00 Teaser 00:10 Intro 00:25 A little History 02:38 Original Zombie Tutorial 03:58 How long is a second anyway? 04:50 Tasting Notes 05:34 Recipe 05:40 Hot Zombie 07:15 Tasting Notes 08:58 Recipe 09:02 Tonga Room Zombie 10:53 Tasting Notes 11:18 Recipe 11:25 Zombie Talk 12:18 Thank you Patreon and Members 12:50 It's getting spooky!
