Finding white grapefruit is the bane of my tiki existence
Honestly I just don't bother anymore. I know it's not the same drink with ruby red but it's what I have access to and I'd rather drink a zombie with ruby red grapefruit than not drink a zombie at all.
The struggle is real.
The drink is better with ruby red grapefruit, it’s already out of balance so the slight added sweetness helps more than hinders imo.
I’ve gotten lucky- some beverage stores (usually more upscale ones) will stock white grapefruit juice (100%, but from concentrate) in their mixer isle.
I know Bottles does.
I like the format of this video - how to mix a classic cocktail with a little bit of history...in 5 minutes!
I absolutely love this drink with my whole heart. It's the first tiki cocktail I ever had, it awakened a passion that I've been chasing for a decade since then, and it's still probably my all time favorite drink.
They sell white grapefruit juice at our grocery store in the fu fu juice section.
Love the highlights on the old photos.
That was awesome! More please.
Don's Zombie is one of the best and most potent, well balanced cocktail ever made. Whenever I have insomnia, a Zombie or two is guaranteed to put me into a coma for the best couple of days sleep ever. By the way Spike, love your plantation hat. Reminds me of those photos of Don sporting something similar. Very Rad my Man! Aloha
The 1934 zombie is my favorite cocktail and I served it at my Tiki Tuesday gathering last night to friends. However, I’ve adjusted the recipe to what I call the weekday zombie. What I do is back down on the 151 to three-quarter ounce and the other two rums to 1 ounce. Everything else stays the same and it is an amazing “weekday” version that everyone should try. Remember to always go back to the 1934 on the weekends!!
I love the episode and appreciate you putting in the history clip as well.
Loving this new format, the vintage material was fantastic
I really liked the One Minute Tiki History. Hope you do more of those.
The classics are always the best. A good short episode, Spike. I’d show this to anyone wanting to know more about Tiki.
My favorite Tiki cocktail. I do back off on the Pernod, usually 4-5 drops not 6. This is Tiki in a glass. Great video Matt!
I finally got a bottle of Absinsthe. It adds a whole new dynamic to this cocktail. It makes my tongue just a little fuzzy. I finally now have all of the exact ingredients to make this drink sing! Love it.
These new vidz are super cool, Spike!
Spike I’ve been watching these vids for years and no shit this is the best one yet. The history minute added awesome context and highlighting the interesting objects in the photo was next level editing. And how great is that hat! Aloha.
Went back in time to watch and I can safely say....Your videos are getting slicker!
I have had this version of the Zombie and would definitely get one again.
It's not canon -- but I like to drizzle the 6 Gtts* of Absinthe on the sides of the glass, let them swirl down, then put the glasses in the freezer while I build the drink.
*Gtts = Granitas = drops in Latin. [From apothecary notation.]
I used to make this exact recipe. Just alot of ingredients. Love it.
This is a good series you've started, Spike! I like it! (The cocktail too....) 🙂
Yes, I would order it again! Love this drink. But what is even better is the Jet Pilot yum 😋 🌺🍹
Thaks for all your hard work . Always enjoy the videos.
Currently working on the zombie stomp cocktail
I dream of being cool enough to be invited or be able to visit the Breezeway
I would love it if you would another run of some Zombie glasses! I need some. Lol
Cool new video style over the longer form ones. Love them both!
Personally not a fan of the Zombie, but there is no doubt it is the cornerstone of tiki :)
Excellent!
Love the history. I have preserved and will order the 1934 zombie many times I agree at the end of the night is sounds like a great idea and usually isn’t lmao keep up the great work Spike
Love the amount of vids coming out!
I order it here at home at least once a week!
Thanks for the taste test and the bit-o-history. Hope the Breezeway Blend is doing well
One of my favorites!
Hell yeah I would order it again....but certainly never exceeding two in one sitting. Don't want to break the rules.
Order this again? The correct answer is yes, yes and YES!!
But only two! It’s the rules.
OMG this is incredible. I grew up in LA and my dad would constantly order zombies when we went out to dinner. But I'm certain none of the places we went to made them like this. I've tried to order zombies in various places around the world but bartenders either don't know what a zombie is or make something way off the mark. Seeing this, I now desperately want to make and try the real thing. I plan to have a small hotel in Asia, hopefully with a bar (maybe tiki-themed) and this drink would take center stage. Fantastic cocktail presentation and history lesson!
Typically you see them in Asian restaurants, but they are a far cry from this recipe. Looking into Zombie recipes took me down the Tiki rabbit hole, and I discovered my favorite drink......the Zombie!
These vids always make me so thirsty! Where did you get that sweet hat from?
I think it is time for a zombie tonight!
I make my own Falernum for my Zombies, I got the recipe on line, it's call Falernum #9 and with the ingredients you let it ferment in a mason jar for 24 hrs and strain through a cheese cloth into your demerara syrup and it also has high over proof white rum in it, yeah 2 of my Zombies and your done, I make the mistake of having 3 one night and I didn't remember anything till the next day.
The drink that got me into Tiki and is still my number 2, only 2nd to the similar Jet Pilot
Have you found the Quiet Birdman?
I'd order one again. But not Again and Again...
I'm sorry, Sir but you've had two. That's the limit!
Every time! I go to Viva 🎉tell myself to order one 😳never do 😵💫Zombie/Hurricane in my Future 💕😬
I will say it again because it’s spring time. The only reason he used so much mint is because it’s probably taking over the breezeway. I have it even growing through masonry 😠
Where can I get that Hat Spike ? Looks awesome on you! You look like the Don lol. BTW just came back from Palm Springs and went to Tiki Bootleger,
I tried there Cobra Bits! 🐍 that knocks any Zombie out of this world! 😅
This is my favorite cocktail. But they are an ass whip! No more than 2 is no doubt!
Love Zombies, but got a SLIGHT problem with the character that was drawn next to the drink on the Beachcomber menu. Guess I wasn't the target audience back in the 1930's 😞
Oh well, good and effective cocktail nevertheless.
This drink is so delicious and so so dangerous.
Is it ? If it is all the way Groovy
one day, i hope to renovate my Lanai into a tiki bar, but sadly, its out of reach finically right now X_X
What the hell now there are two Hamilton pot still gold rums? One dark and one light? Now I gotta track down this one lol
Would I order this (one of my all time favorite drinks) again? Ya gyatt dayum right I would!
Well, as many times as I can anyway.. 🥴😆
I made my own falernum for zombies but it is so strong it ends up overpowering any drink. I end up putting like 1/4 the called for amounts. Anyone else have this problem?
My homemade falernum is much stronger than the store bought stuff, for sure! But in a Zombie I don't mind.
I will have a lot more to say about all this in my book next spring! But I wanted you to finish and have another on camera… ;)
I had one good night on them… it was a hell of a morning tho
Nostalgia is nice. I get that a lot. But you can go to a tiki bar, or build your own tiki bar today, and drink zombies while talking about how cool those old days seem in the rear view mirror. But you can do so without redlining property laws, segregated restaurants, and rampant misogyny (among other issues) that were also a part of those past days.
I enjoy emulating the look of past times, but I would not wish to live in the backwards time if given the option.
I will take a peated scotch (Islay) any day over this Tiki cocktail. Not a fab. Good video! I do love your work!!
yuck. imagine preferring the taste of a forest fire to one of the greatest cocktails ever made
I think the Zombie recipe should be Dani Pola's recipe as the standard. The original zombie is 7/10 imo.
I like to try every bar's zombie, but Kaona is the only one I can order 2 the same night every night. All other tiki bars, ill have it once and never order it again.
What do you think Spike?
Recipe in description is asking for 1.5 oz of 151 it’s only one oz
I'm not a big fan of the Zombie. I think the Jet Pilot is better balanced.
