The Zombie is a classic cocktail that was created in the 1930s by Don the Beachcomber, who is considered the founding father of the modern tiki drink scene. Cocktail lore states that he randomly came up with the recipe, which mixes rums, citrus, spices, and his famous mix, in front of a customer. The businessman later reported back that it made him feel “like a zombie” for the rest of his trip, and the name stuck.
