Episode 1: How The Zombie Became the Most Legendary Tiki Drink Ever Made

Episode Spotlight: The Zombie

“Aloha, friends! Today we’re diving into the boozy history of one of the most infamous tiki cocktails ever created—The Zombie.”

This episode is an intoxicating blend of cocktail history, chaos, and comedy.
Dave unravels the mysterious origins of Donn Beach’s 1930s tiki masterpiece, while Jesse quietly builds the legendary drink—one ounce at a time. As the rum flows, the conversation gets… spirited.

You’ll learn:

  1. The real story behind the original Zombie recipe
  2. Why this drink was once limited to only two per customer
  3. How to mix one the right way (without summoning the undead)
  4. And what happens when Dave “taste-tests” just a little too enthusiastically

It’s tiki education wrapped in laughter—and by the end, even Jesse admits… this one’s worth coming back from the dead for.
