From Citizendium, the Citizens' Compendium
The zombie is an exceptionally strong cocktail made of fruit juices, liqueurs, and various rums, so named for its perceived effects upon the drinker. It first appeared in the late 1930s, invented by Donn Beach (formerly Ernest Raymond Beaumont-Gannt) of Hollywood's restaurant. It was later further popularized at the 1939 New York World's Fair.
Beach concocted it one afternoon for a friend who had dropped by his restaurant before flying to San Francisco, using five kinds of rum as its base. The friend left after having consumed three of them. He returned several days later to complain that he had subsequently had a fight with his chauffeur,sac longchamp,sac louis vuitton pas ...te - encyclopedia articl, been in an argument on the plane, and later found himself sitting on a San Francisco dock with his feet dangling in the water. "You were like the walking dead," Beach said to him, and after that the mixture was called the zombie. Its smooth, fruity taste works to conceal its extremely high alcoholic content. For many years the Beachcomber restaurants limited their customers to two zombies apiece. According to the original recipe,longchamp pliage, there are the equivalent of 7.5 ounces (2.2 ) of alcohol in a single zombie; this is the equivalent of drinking three and a half cocktails made with a fairly generous 2 ounces (0.6 dl) of alcohol per drink.

Like many of his other drinks, the Beachcomber preserved the secret of its preparation zealously, going so far as to mix some of the key ingredients himself in large, unlabeled bottles that had only coded numbers on them for his bartenders to use.

Don the Beachcomber zombie
This recipe is probably close to how the zombie was originally made. At that time Don the Beachcomber used 5 or 6 kinds of Caribbean rum that are no longer easily available in the United States, so generic rums have been specified. These proportions are supposedly for 1 drink but, with sufficent ice in 2 or 3 glasses, can actually make 2 or 3 very potent drinks.
