Seasonal

Themed

It’s so close to Halloween 🎃 🧟!! I’m ready for it! I love a themed cocktail so of course I had to make a zombie but with an autumnal twist. All things fall went into this and the icing on the cake (or zombie 😂) is this delicious sweet wine syrup. I took @gen7wine Noir de Noir and reduced it until thick and syrupy. It makes the perfect “bloody” zombie. Cheers y’all!!

Bartender

Hi there! I've been a bartender at the same restaurant for over 10 years. My favorite spirits to work with are rum (love a good tiki drink!), gin and amaros. I love to garden and I often use the herbs and produce I grow to make syrups and infusions. Cheers y'all! ...

Combine all ingredients except wine syrup in a shaker with ice and shake to chill. Strain into a zombie glass over crushed ice. Gently drizzle the wine syrup over the top and garnish.

Editor's Note

Apple brandy and overproof rum anchor this seasonal riff on the classic Zombie. A house-made wine reduction provides a striking, blood-red finish.
