Donn Beach created the Zombie drink in the 1930s. The drink was invented by Beach to help a customer attend a business conference. The drink was made from dark rum, fruit juices, liqueurs, as well as other ingredients. The drink was served in glasses with a maraschino cherry garnish.

There are many versions of this popular Tiki drink. Some are made with 151 proof rum while others have a base of lighter rum. There are many variations, including those made with passion fruit syrup and fruit juices. It is served over crushed ice and garnished on top with a cherry.

Vic Bergeron claimed to have invented the Zombie Drink, but he was in fact a rival of Donn Beachcomber. Both men were involved in the Tiki craze. Berry found the original Zombie recipe, even though Beach was known for being very picky about his cocktails. He had been a Beachcomber employee who wrote it. Sippin’ Safari was based off a notebook Dick Santiago, an ex-waiter at Don the Beachcomber’s, kept. Jeff Berry, a tiki revivalist, later found the book. To reconstruct the recipe, Berry used the book.

Donn Beach may have changed the recipe multiple times. In his Hollywood restaurant, he used to serve the cocktail through a hole on the wall. This was to keep the recipe safe from other chefs. This strategy was not successful and the recipe became a syrup-laden mess. Beachbumberry found Donn's original recipe and added it to a book. Sippin’ Safari has a chapter dedicated to the drink. Berry also got to know former Beachcomber employees. He discovered the recipe in Santiago's notebook, and Don's code numbers that correspond to the bottles used at the restaurant.

There are many options for ordering drinks at your local bar. However, these methods require that you know the type of drink you want before you go to the counter. Ask your server what they recommend ordering if you are unsure of the drink you desire. This way, you won't embarrass yourself when asking them to make recommendations.

This method involves speaking with your server and telling them what type of drink you want. You could say, "I would like a glass beer." Next, tell the server what kind of beer it is. For example, you could say, "A Budweiser." Next, tell you server which size you desire (e.g., small medium large). When you're done, he/she will give you the correct price, and you'll never feel awkward again!
