Potent Flavor
Cocktails featuring potent notes.
1934 Zombie
The original Donn Beach Zombie with gold Puerto Rican rum, dark Jamaican rum, and 151-proof Demerara rum—the authentic recipe that launched the tiki craze.
1950 Zombie
Donn Beach's simplified home version of the Zombie from his 1950 'Barbecue Chef' book—more approachable yet still potent with a dramatic 151 rum float.
Planter's Punch
Dark rum punch with citrus and spice—the Caribbean's signature party drink.
Rumpletini
A modern, potent cocktail defined by the bracing, high-proof peppermint schnapps Rumple Minze, representing the late 20th century '-tini' craze with its intense flavor and simplicity.
Texas Tea
The bigger, bolder, bourbon-fueled cousin of the Long Island Iced Tea. With six spirits and a fresh sour mix, it epitomizes the 'everything is bigger in Texas' philosophy while maintaining surprising balance when crafted with quality ingredients.
Trader Vic Zombie
A potent and complex tiki cocktail that simplified and popularized Don the Beachcomber's original secret recipe. Victor Bergeron's more approachable version helped make the Zombie a global staple of Polynesian-themed restaurants.
Trader Vic's Suffering Bastard
A rum-centric tiki cocktail that's more robust and complex than the original gin and brandy Cairo creation. Essentially a more potent variation of the Mai Tai, featuring a blend of aged rums with citrus, orgeat, and curaçao.
Zombie
Don the Beachcomber's infamous blend of rums, citrus, and spice that launched the tiki craze—tropical, potent, and theatrical.
