Don’t get any staaaaaiiinnsss (on your flash new Zombie t-shirt)!
Posted by: Kevin in Drinks, On The Web, Our Bar, TikiHiya all!
I just had to share this t-shirt design which I found on threadless.com. I thought it would be a good opportunity to introduce you to our most popular drink…
At the Tiki Bar we serve a famous Don the Beachcomber classic cocktail called a Zombie. The Zombie is an excellent example of a cocktail made with lots of fresh juice and premium rums with a lot of complex flavours. The recipe we use is considered by many experts in the field to be close to what Don’s original Zombie Cocktail would have been - with passionfruit, lime, lemon, angostura bitters and lots of big, bold rums. We top ours off with a flaming passionfruit husk representing the “brains” of the Zombie, to which we add a magical voodoo powder made from Chicken bone and Human blood (no, really! Trust me, I’m a bartender!). The voodoo powder - sent to us by a witch-woman living on a small french colonial tropical island in the indian ocean called “Reunion Island” - is dropped into the live flame which throws up a tempest of sparks (often burning the hair off the poor bartender’s knuckles).
We are pleased to say that despite the “voodoo powder” this drink is vegan safe - the chicken was also vegan.
UPDATE! This shirt is now only available at redbubble.com. See our followup post.
