Zombie

The Zombie was created by Donn Beach, a legendary tiki bar owner, and has since become a favorite tiki cocktail. It features three kinds of rum, lime juice, falernum, grenadine, simple syrup, and pineapple juice. But be warned, after too many of these, you could be walking around like a zombie.
