Original Zombie

Made specifically for our Revisiting Romero episode.

Given that Romero is seen as the father of the modern zombie, it's only fitting that the cocktail to accompany his episode is a recreation of the original Zombie Punch from 1934. The story behind this cocktail is pretty fascinating... if you're interested you can read about it here.
