• Pineapple juice — 30 ml
• Lime juice — 15 ml
• Grenadine — 10 ml
• Cinnamon syrup (optional) — 10 ml
• Angostura bitters — 2–3 dashes
• Ice — a few cubes

Instructions:

1. Preparation: Fill a shaker with ice.
2. Mixing: Add all the rums, absinthe, juices, grenadine, cinnamon syrup, and Angostura bitters into the shaker.
3. Shaking: Shake the shaker vigorously for 15–20 seconds.
4. Serving: Strain the drink into a tall glass (highball) or tiki mug filled with ice.
5. Garnish: Garnish with a slice of pineapple, maraschino cherry, or a sprig of mint.

The Zombie cocktail is very strong, so it’s recommended to limit yourself to one per evening.
