Zombie’s Bane

Description

The charm of Zombie’s Bane is in the contrast: familiar flavours, but with enough shape to make it memorable. The danger with tropical drinks is that they can become all juice and no direction. Here, Light Rum, Dark Rum, Absinthe and Lime Juice give the serve a clearer shape: fruit for generosity, acidity for snap and spirit for warmth.

The result should feel abundant and sunny, but still balanced enough that you want a second sip rather than a glass of syrup.

Ingredients

30 ml Light Rum
30 ml Dark rum

15 ml Falernum

Instructions

Add the light rum, dark rum, absinthe, lime juice, and falernum syrup into a shaker filled with ice.

Slap the mint sprig between your hands to release aroma and place it as garnish.
Add a lime wedge or tiki-style garnish for a dramatic look.
