June 24-Zombie

No this isn’t the hit song by the Cranberries, this is one of the more popular tiki cocktails out there. This cocktail might remind you of the one we talked about yesterday due to the amount of ingredients, but here it actually works. Let’s start with the fact that it’s not a vodka cocktail but actually rum. This spirit has a lot more proprietary tastes with different brands. I could go into a whole tangent about rum types but just know that the variety comes in clutch when it comes to making rum blends and this cocktail has quite a good one. Gold rum with aged rum and jamaican is pure bliss in my opinion.

The blend of citrus juices is also interesting, you get the bitterness form the lime and grapefruit but both are also a little sweet. And the bitterness of both is counteracted by the grenadine. The grenadine also gives this cocktail a beautiful colour.
