The Zombie is a classic Tiki drink by legendary bartender and restaurateur Donn Beach, of Don the Beachcomber. It’s one of many popular cocktails that were created and served at the fun-loving Hollywood bar, which opened in 1933 and was responsible for kicking off the Tiki craze. Don’t drink more than two … you have been warned!
