ZOMBIE

Little do they know, the true creator of the Zombie has been watching from the shadows, determined to keep his secret recipe safe at all costs. Curated by Head Mixologist, Mr. Manoj Alphonse at Eight, Phoenix Mall of Asia, the Zombie cocktail has a fascinating history. It was originally created by Donn Beach, also known as Don the Beachcomber, in 1934. Legend has it that the drink was so potent that Beach would limit his customers to only two Zombies each to prevent them from getting too intoxicated.

The original recipe was a closely guarded secret, but it typically includes rum, lime juice, various fruit juices, and several varieties of rum. Over the years, many variations of the Zombie cocktail have been created, but its reputation as a strong and flavorful drink remains strong to this day.
