Spyke

As close as I could get to Don the Beachcomber's Zombie with what I had on hand, based on this recipe: https://www.liquor.com/recipes/zombie-2/

My version:

  • 1 1/2 ounces Jamaican rum (I did 1 ounce Appleton signature and 1/2 ounce Smith and Cross)
  • 1 1/2 ounces Puerto Rican gold rum
  • 1 ounce 151-proof demerara rum
  • 3/4 ounce lime juice
  • 1/2 ounce demerara syrup + sprinkle of cinnamon (to substitute the Don's mix)
  • 1/2 ounce falernum
  • 1 teaspoon grenadine
  • 4 spritzes absinthe
  • 1 dash Angostura bitters

Shake all ingredients with pebble ice and open pour into mug, fill rest of the way with fresh ice. Garnish with mint sprig and a cherry
