Trader Sam's Zombie - Disney Cocktail recipe

[@InTheDrinkJoe]

I love a zombie - definitely one of my absolute favourites! I've been wanting to go to Trader Sam's for years! Great video - I love your bar!

[@realjasonmiller]

You should totally hit up Trader Sam's, if you like the Jungle Cruise then it'll be your vibe. Thank you!! Your bar is hella dope too.

Jungle Bird is legit my dude, their Metal Mai Tai is a must every Sabbath Sunday. Cheers 🍻 great home tiki bar 🤘🏼🍻

[@realjasonmiller]

Agreed dude!

[@MarioHxc89]

@@realjasonmiller I’m using your recipe (this video) for the Super Bowl! Never made my own grenadine before, you made it sound easy. Great content, keep it up! Greetings from Dublin, CA. Cheers 🍻

[@realjasonmiller]

@@MarioHxc89 Dublin! I'm over here in Sacramento. Making Grenadine is stupid simple, just heat up the POM but don't boil and add an equal amount of sugar by volume, still until dissolved. That's it. In a pinch I've used a microwave before. You got it!

[@MarioHxc89]

@@realjasonmiller No way dude! We are not far from each other, small world. Great tip, thank you! I’ve noticed you have a lot Jungle Bird items, just curious. Do you work at JB?

[@philiproberts4101]

Just found your channel. This is a drink that got me into tiki cocktails as well! I'm still super new to it, but love making this drink

Hamilton 151 on line at bitters and bottles in SF

[@glennkoenig6078]

This recipe is the classic 1934 version by Don the Beachcomber. The original recipe called Don's Mix which was the combination of grapefruit juice and cinnamon syrup in a 2:1 ratio. This recipe is 1:1 which makes it a little less tart. Glad to see you used all of the top shelf rums required. I have accumulate the same rum's used in your videos and enjoy your take on the very same drinks that I have prepared. Kindred spirit, that's all I'm sayin'. Nicely done.

[@realjasonmiller]

Thank you dude! Yeah, I decided to do 1:1 because it seemed easier to most people to follow. Totally agree, when making it for myself or batching Don's mix for a party I'll do 2:1 as well.

​@@realjasonmiller this is not the Disney recipe so why did you call it that in the title?

[@LunchBreakAngler]

Another good one!

[@realjasonmiller]

Thank you!!!

[@jordangreen611]

Dude this is awesome! First video of yours I’ve seen and I love it! I love tiki and have been obsessed with Disney my whole life(I’ve also been a cast member for 5 years) so you are the perfect dude for me to watch!

[@realjasonmiller]

Thank you, so much Jordan! If you want me to make anything specific, let me know!

[@OldFashionedWays]

ok this sounds amazing. I just had the Zombie from Disney world. I didn't see that herbastura on there recipe, but I think that would take it up a notch. Love your set up, thanks again for breaking down this recipe and making it easy to follow. cheers.

[@realjasonmiller]

Thank you!! Yeah a lot of bar will just say absinthe or just list it as "bitters" because it's only a few drops but that few drops make all the difference. If you make this recipe let me know how it goes.

[@OldFashionedWays]

@@realjasonmiller I saved it so I want to try to turn into an old fashioned. Probably for Halloween. Thanks for the inspiration

[@skiddledat108]

Half the drink went overboard

[@cookcreator2632]

Great video I can't wait to make this with my Plantation OFTD. I've only used it in a Jungle Bird so far so I'm excited for how this will turn out. Great setup by the way, your theming is awesome. Go Dodgers! :)

[@realjasonmiller]

How did it go? OFTD is great in a lot of cocktails, try a 151 swizzle, 2070 swizzle or a Navy Grog with it.

[@cookcreator2632]

@@realjasonmiller I haven't made it yet but I'm saving your recommendations to make later for sure! I made the Honey Fusion today and that was fun, thank you so much!

[@owenw1002]

Where in NorCal are you? I know 3 places near me that have the Hamilton 151 im in the Bay Area

[@realjasonmiller]

I'm over in Sacramento, I just haven't made the time to hit up K&L in the city. What's your favorite place to stock up?

[@bryman31]

where can i get the glass in your thumbnail of this video?

[@realjasonmiller]

They are by Jeff Granito, who does fantastic Disney/Tiki crossover prints, shirts and barware. I don't think those particular designs are still available though. jeffgranitodesigns.com/

[@brentdnowicki]

I know where to get Hamilton 151 in Northern California.

[@realjasonmiller]

I know where to get it in the Bay Area but I'm over here in Sacramento, got any hookups?

[@brentdnowicki]

@@realjasonmiller Sorry, I'm in Santa Rosa.

[@realjasonmiller]

@@brentdnowicki Santa Rosa is hella dope. I’m out there all the time, can you get Hamilton rums in the area?

[@brentdnowicki]

@@realjasonmiller Yes there's a couple of stores. The Bottle Barn & Wilibees both have Hamilton. The Bottle Barn has 86, 151 and the Zombie blend usually in stock, while Wilibees usually only has the Zombie blend. Though I would give them a call to make sure and put anything on hold for you if you're making the drive. Wilibees also has a shop in Petaluma. I picked up a bottle of Hamilton Jamaican Dark Pot Stilled Rum in Mill Valley one weekend too.

[@Yogafist]

I don’t recall a zombie on the menu, Is this the same as the shrunken zombie head? Which is my favorite drink there.

[@realjasonmiller]

They switched from the Shrunken Zombie head to the Zombie a couple years ago, they are very different cocktails. Personally I think the Zombie is a better cocktail.

[@Succumbed2Rum]

Great video but at one point you say a half ounce of falernum yet the text on the screen says a quarter ounce. Otherwise great job!

[@realjasonmiller]

Yeah that bugs the shit out of me, I caught it after the video was starting to get views. Thanks dude!! 🤘🤘

[@lorendavidsonmusic]

I love me a good Zombie. I'm afraid I winced a bit at all the alcohol abuse (spilled booze) happening in this drink. Plus, I know you were doing it for appearances, but you kept using the same 3/4 ounce side of your jigger to pour, even for the 1.5 ounce rums. Would have been nice if you'd turned it over. :) That said, a good tutorial. I'm a Lemon Hart 151 fan myself for this, over the OFTD. But I love the OFTD in a mai tai.

[@Afgust_0]

Good job man! But aaaargh THE SPILLAGE

[@realjasonmiller]

I can't help myself.

[@ausargibbs8545]

All the spillage is pissing me off lol
