It's the Night of a 1000 Zombies! The Zombie is one of my favorite rum cocktails, so I taste as many many as I can find to see which are my favorites. I try both traditional takes like the '34 Beachcomber recipe, as well as low-abv spritz and even some zombies that barely have any rum in there. Watch for your favorite Zombies from places like Trader Sam's, Smuggler's Cove, Tonga Hut and more!
