Zombie Cocktail
- For Donn's Mix:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- Freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
- For the cocktail:
- 3 ounces white rum (preferably Jamaican)
- 3 ounces gold rum (preferably Puerto Rican)
- 2 ounces dark rum (preferably 151-proof Demerara)
- 1/4 teaspoon Pernod
- 1 ounce Velvet Falernum
- 4 ounces Donn's Mix (see above)
- 2 teaspoons grenadine
- A few dashes Angostura bitters
- 3 cups ice
- 2 sprigs fresh mint, for garnish
- In a small saucepan, make a simple syrup by heating the sugar, water, and cinnamon sticks. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Let it simmer for 1 to 3 minutes, and then remove it from the heat. Let the syrup infuse for up to 2 hours, and then strain it into a separate container.
- To finish the mix, add one part of the syrup to two parts fresh squeezed grapefruit juice.
- Add all of the ingredients-except for the mint-to a blender, reserving the ice for last.
- Blend on high speed for 5 to 7 seconds, or until the crushed ice is a consistent size. Pour into two glasses and garnish with fresh mint sprigs.
