How to make Zombie cocktail
1) Like real zombies, the walking dead's namesake 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.
2) Mix the light and dark rum and brandy in a cocktail shaker, then add the lime juice and grenadine. Shake well and strain into four highball glasses filled with cracked ice.
3) Fill each glass with orange juice but leave enough room to float the 151 on top. Garnish each glass with a cherry and orange slice.
