Combine all ingredients into a mixing glass with cubed ice. Rocks stir for 25-30 seconds. Rinse the inside of a chilled double old fashioned (12oz) with absinthe. Add a large cube to the glass. Strain contents of the mixing glass into the glassware. Garnish with a single mint leaf on the large cube.

Editor's Note

A high-proof, stirred deconstruction of the classic Zombie. The rum blend provides deep, funky complexity, while the absinthe rinse and pomegranate shrub add essential aromatic and acidic lift.

This is such a brilliant way to reimagine a Tiki classic! Do you happen to have the recipes for your pomegranate shrub and cinnamon tincture? I'd love to try making this at home.
