The Zombie is a cocktail made of fruit juices, liqueurs, and various rums. It first appeared in late 1934, invented by Donn Beach of Hollywood’s Don the Beachcomber restaurant. It was popularized soon afterwards at the 1939 New York World’s Fair.
Beach kept his famous Zombie cocktail recipe a secret, nonetheless this cocktail grew hugely during the ‘Tiki Craze’ that Beach himself started and subsequently many different copies of the iconic cocktail emerged all over the world.
