The Zombie was invented by Donn Beach in the 1930’s for a man who wanted something to get him through a business meeting. Apparently the man came back a couple days later complaining it made him feel like a Zombie, thus the name. The drink even has it’s own glass, which is just a skull cup. This is an Official IBA Cocktail.
