Familiar names are complemented by new faces nearly every week, displaying the diversity and worldwide reach of the Tiki scene.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tikitrail.com\/pages\/tikicomber\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"23963\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/2021\/06\/28\/take-a-trip-down-the-tiki-trail-for-a-lethal-new-zombie-recipe\/tikicomber-app\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Tikicomber-app.jpg?fit=372%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"372,480\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Tikicomber-app\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Tikicomber app&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Tikicomber-app.jpg?fit=372%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-23963 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Tikicomber-app.jpg?resize=233%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Tikicomber app\" width=\"233\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Tikicomber-app.jpg?resize=233%2C300&amp;ssl=1 233w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Tikicomber-app.jpg?w=372&amp;ssl=1 372w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 233px) 100vw, 233px\" \/><\/a>While most of the gatherings over the past year have been hosted in Ballard&#8217;s home bar in Southern California, he has begun venturing out as COVID restrictions are eased.

(Photo by Hurricane Hayward, June 2021)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>The backstory<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As noted above, I reached out to the Tiki Trail regulars for guidance in putting this recipe together. There were many interesting suggestions, including several favorite Zombie flavors and rums (noted above). I&#8217;m always looking to expand the reach of the Zombie yet keep it within the traditional parameters defined by Don the Beachcomber.<\/p>\n<p>At its essence, the Zombie is a supercharged <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/cocktail-recipes-a-z\/#planters\">Planters Punch<\/a>, a touchstone Caribbean cocktail that influenced nearly everything that Donn Beach did behind the bar. So it was not a stretch to include guava, which can be found in some Planters Punch recipes.<\/p>\n<p>There were requests for a POG (passion fruit \/ orange \/ guava) flavor profile. Adding passion fruit syrup was a no-brainer since it dates back to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/2011\/11\/01\/mai-kai-cocktail-review-the-theory-of-evolution-of-the-zombie\/#ancestors\">1950 version<\/a> of the Zombie that author and Tiki cocktail historian <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/cocktail-recipes-a-z\/#beachbum-berry\">Jeff &#8220;Beachbum&#8221; Berry<\/a> revealed in his <a href=\"https:\/\/beachbumberry.com\/publications.html\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">groundbreaking books and app<\/a>. Orange juice was frowned-upon, so I opted for orange bitters to add more nuance to the spicy element.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the other ingredients are reverential to the classic Zombie recipes and also similar to one of our latest tributes, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/2021\/05\/21\/zombie-hunters-beachbum-berry-and-ed-hamilton-join-forces-on-new-rum-blend\/#Hamilton-Zombie\">Hamilton Zombie.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mixing tips<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23967\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23967\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/2021\/06\/28\/take-a-trip-down-the-tiki-trail-for-a-lethal-new-zombie-recipe\/allspice-dram_2017\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23967\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"23967\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/2021\/06\/28\/take-a-trip-down-the-tiki-trail-for-a-lethal-new-zombie-recipe\/allspice-dram_2017\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Allspice-dram_2017.jpg?fit=674%2C653&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"674,653\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Allspice-dram_2017\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Some of our favorite bottles of allspice (pimento) dram.

(Photo by Hurricane Hayward, November 2017)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While this drink contains a dozen ingredients, we sought to make it accessible and not as difficult to make as many recipes you&#8217;ll come across with much fewer elements. We tried to avoid the hard-to-find and esoteric, making this perhaps the easiest 12-ingredient drink you&#8217;ll ever make.<\/p>\n<p>* Fresh-squeezed lime juice and all-natural grapefruit juice are essential. White grapefruit is more traditional and recommended, but fresh red grapefruit is OK in a pinch. If you have to buy a bottled version, that&#8217;s perfectly fine.<\/p>\n<p>* While homemade syrups are preferred, bottled versions are totally acceptable. Both the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2ThdOvN\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener\">passion fruit<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3jlyddG\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener\">guava puree<\/a> from Re\u00e0l Syrups are not only cost effective and easy to use, but just as tasty as any similar product on the market. They&#8217;re also easy to find on Amazon. The fact that they&#8217;re endorsed by such industry luminaries as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbumberry.com\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener\">Beachbum Berry<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ianrumburrell.com\/\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener\">Ian Burrell<\/a> makes it an easy choice.<\/p>\n<p>* While the Hamilton and St. Elizabeth brands of allspice dram have slightly different flavor profiles, we&#8217;re happy with both in this drink so use whichever you have on hand. The same goes for the orange bitters and anise liqueur. If you don&#8217;t have absinthe, just reach for Pernod or Herbsaint. But be careful to go easy and use an eyedropper to dose the drink carefully so these flavors remain subtle.<\/p>\n<p>* The suggested rum brands are all favorites of the Tiki Trail, but you can swap out a few as long as these specific styles are followed. We feel that this combination forms a unique rum profile, strong but not overpowering even at 3 ounces. Among other favorite lightly-aged, blended (white) rums are Hamilton White Stache, Probitas and Denizen. Even more vast are the excellent aged Barbados rums, including most of the Doorly&#8217;s and Mount Gay portfolios. Wray &amp; Nephew is the most ubiquitous unaged (white) overproof rum from Jamaica, but several others (Rum-Bar, Rum Fire) are nearly interchangeable. All are 126 proof. The 151 proof Demerara options are fewer, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/2019\/01\/30\/photos-demerara-rum-flows-at-the-mai-kais-magical-retro-event-featuring-the-atomic-grog\/\">Lemon Hart has long been the alternative<\/a> for folks unable to acquire the Hamilton rum from Guyana.<\/p>\n<p>* Whatever you do, don&#8217;t forget the freshly grated nutmeg. It&#8217;s worth the small investment. The spice adds a nice aromatic and actually accentuates all the flavors as you enjoy the drink. Much like a classic Planters Punch, the inspiration for the original Zombie.<\/p>\n<p><em>Okole maluna!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLY!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #4e7d54;\"><strong>2021: THE YEAR OF THE ZOMBIE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Tiki Trail Zombie is the third of 10 new Zombie recipes planned for The Atomic Grog to commemorate our 10th anniversary.

Jim's roots in mid-century and retro culture go back to his childhood in the 1960s, when he tagged along with his parents to Tiki restaurants and his father's custom car shows. His experience in newspaper journalism and more than 20 years as an independent concert promoter have given him a front-row seat in the South Florida scene since the 1970s. He promoted hundreds of rock, punk, and indie concerts under the Slammie Productions banner since the early 1990s. A graduate of the University of Florida's College of Journalism and Communications in 1983, Jim was a longtime editor and web producer for The Palm Beach Post before his retirement in 2022. He earned his nickname by virtue of both his dangerous exotic drinks and his longtime position overseeing tropical weather coverage in his stormy home state. Jim now spends his time mixing cocktails, attending events and writing stories for this blog, which launched in 2011. The Atomic Grog extensively covers events, music, art, cocktails, and culture with a retro slant.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/theatomicgrog.com\",\"http:\\\/\\\/www.facebook.com\\\/atomicgrog\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.instagram.com\\\/theatomicgrog\\\/\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.pinterest.com\\\/atomicgrog\\\/\",\"https:\\\/\\\/x.com\\\/theatomicgrog\",\"https:\\\/\\\/youtube.com\\\/@atomicgrog\"],\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.slammie.com\\\/atomicgrog\\\/blog\\\/author\\\/hurricanehayward\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Take a trip down the Tiki Trail for a lethal new Zombie recipe - The Atomic Grog","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/2021\/06\/28\/take-a-trip-down-the-tiki-trail-for-a-lethal-new-zombie-recipe\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Take a trip down the Tiki Trail for a lethal new Zombie recipe - The Atomic Grog","og_description":"Updated July 3 It was an honor to create the signature Tiki Trail Zombie and appear on the long-running online meet-up last Tuesday to mix it up for an enthusiastic audience.

Jim now spends his time mixing cocktails, attending events and writing stories for this blog, which launched in 2011. The Atomic Grog extensively covers events, music, art, cocktails, and culture with a retro slant.","sameAs":["https:\/\/theatomicgrog.com","http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/atomicgrog","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/theatomicgrog\/","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/atomicgrog\/","https:\/\/x.com\/theatomicgrog","https:\/\/youtube.com\/@atomicgrog"],"url":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/author\/hurricanehayward\/"}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Tiki-Trail-Zombie_combo_merch1-940.jpg?fit=940%2C258&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1xHjT-6eq","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23958","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23958"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23958\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23997"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23958"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23958"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23958"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
