The Zombie is a classic cocktail created by the renowned restaurateur and mixologist Donn Beach. Donn allegedly crafted the cocktail for a frequent client who was suffering from a hangover and required a revitalizing effect prior to a business engagement. Later, when Donn inquired as to how the hangover remedy functioned, he was informed, "I felt like the living dead; it transformed me into a zombie." The drink's name was thus conceived.
Despite the eerie connotation that the name may evoke, the Zombie is a citrus-forward Tiki cocktail that will have you yearning for a beach day rather than an undead invasion.
