I totally agree. I’m not a huge fan of the recipe Beach Bum published either. It just doesn’t feel balanced for me! Plus I love to try lots of different cocktails at a tiki bar so I never get the zombie! Meh.. I’ve got the Zombie blend on the docket for spring! Cheers! Great vid today!
I had a Zombie at La Mariana Sailing Club in Oahu. I only had because it was so stronge. Yet I sunk 5 before the bar tender refused to serve me any more. That was at Don the Beachcomber in Royal Kona Hotel Big Island.
So nice that the official Pussers one makes for such a nice Zombie! If I can get my hands on the full line up of their rums, I'll have to give this one a go! Their flavour is obviously quite unique, but are there alternatives you'd suggest to the Gunpowder and Aged, if I'm having trouble finding? Thanks for this Steve!
There’s nothing really similar in the UK, although these are Guyana Rums. So potentially can you get Hamilton up there? We can’t in the UK, but I hear good thinks. I’d say taste wise the El Dorado 8 is closest to Pussers 40% but the ED5 not bad too. But you’ve also go the awesome Plantation OFTD as an overproof. It’s different, to Pussers 151, but it’s awesome and kinda designed for these cocktails. So instead of 3x 30ml, you could actually go 45ml of say ED5/Hamilton and 45ml OFTD 👍

For strongest rum cocktail, the Bob Marley, In jamaica, is made with 151 rum. Can't remember what's used for the coloured layers..it's not a large glass.
Hmmm. Interesting. In the UK, we know the Bob Marley as a Shooter, Layered with Grenadine, Banana Liqueur and Creme de Menthe. I’ll have to have a look for another recipe 👍
Neilson Massey is a big brand that’s available in most UK Supermarkets. They cover all the basics, Vanilla, Almond, Orange Blossom, Rose Water and Lemon.
Yup. Just use Pussers Gunpowder Spiced instead of the normal Gunpowder. Other than that, yeah of course you can use any Spiced Rum, but you haven’t got the higher ABV to play with. Most Spiceds are 35-40%.
Yes!!! Zombie riffs always make me happy!
Love each and every riff of these. Got a zombie ceramic mug just for these. PACK tons of ice they are great
Might actually do a Zombie Cocktail Book one month. 12 different Zombies! 🤔

5…??! Bet the Bartender didn’t last long. 😂Beachcomber Bars still have that 1 per person per night rule!
Loving the content man 💙💙💙

What are your thoughts on the Artichoke Hold? Smith + Cross and Cynar70 and more... Another excellent overproof rum concoction IMO.
Can’t recall ever having it. Cynar is something I’ve never owned.

What lemon extract did you use available in uk?
Neilson Massey is a big brand that’s available in most UK Supermarkets. They cover all the basics, Vanilla, Almond, Orange Blossom, Rose Water and Lemon.
can you make a spiced rum variant of the zombie?
Yup. Just use Pussers Gunpowder Spiced instead of the normal Gunpowder. Other than that, yeah of course you can use any Spiced Rum, but you haven’t got the higher ABV to play with. Most Spiceds are 35-40%.
Woooww very strong 🍹🍹
