Baby Zombie
Submitted on: March 8, 2021
Inspired by Don the Beachcomber's 1937 Zombie and his 1950's version which also contained passion fruit. Also has half the booze of the original so not as stark a warning before consumption!

Editor's Note
A thoughtful update to the Zombie, halving the potent rum bill while keeping the complex soul. The homemade Don's Mix—cinnamon and grapefruit—is the key to its spicy, tropical balance.
