While watching the
RiffTrax of Night of the Living Dead, Mike Nelson made the observation that this was going to be a long, slow movie. Not only did he do this, but he suggested that those of us in the audience take the time during one long and uneventful scene to make ourselves a zombie. He slowly relayed the following instructions:
You will need:
1 oz Light Rum
1 oz Dark Rum
1/2 oz Grenadine
1/2 oz Triple Sec
1 oz Apricot Brandy (Noted that if you have this around the house, you may not be as manly as you think, but if you're a woman, that's ok.)
2 oz Oj
2 oz Sour mix (Bottled)
1 Splash Rose's lime juice
151 Proof Rum
1 Lemon Slice
Cracked Ice
Ice Cubes
Combine light and dark rums, grenadine, triple sec, apricot brandy, orange juice, and sour mix in a glass with cracked ice. Shake well, then strain into a collins or highball glass over ice. Once in, add a splash of 151 proof rum and lime juice, and garnish with a lemon slice. He also indicated you could use a peeled grape to look like an eyeball, if you so choose.
Thanks Mike. You are a good friend!
Edit:
Further into the film, this alternate was offered:
Mike Nelson's Acapulco Zombie:
1 shot Vodka
1 shot Tequilla
1 shot Rum
1 dash Creme D'Menth
Orange Juice
Grapefruit Juice
Pour alcohols in first, top off glass with juices. Perhaps wear a funny joke Sombraro for atmosphere.
