Zombie Cocktail Recipe

Like the walking dead, this cocktail packs a powerful punch thanks to apricot brandy and three types of rum: light, dark and high-proof Bacardi 151. Grenadine and orange juice give the drink its lovely pumpkin hue

Ingredients:

1 oz. apricot brandy 
1 oz. light rum 
1 oz. dark or Jamaican rum 
1 oz. lime juice 
2 dashes grenadine 
orange juice 
1 oz. Bacardi 151 rum

Preparation:

Mix light and dark rum and brandy in a cocktail shaker, add lime juice and grenadine. Shake well and strain into a highball glass filled with cracked ice.

Fill glass with orange juice, but leave enough room to float the Bacardi 151 rum on top. Garnish with a cherry and an orange slice.
