Zombie Moose Cocktail

Method

Prepare and Shake

  1. 1

    Combine ingredients

    Fill a cocktail shaker about two-thirds full with ice cubes. Add the light rum (1 oz), dark rum (1 oz), 151-proof rum (1/2 oz), White Lightnin' (1/2 oz), pineapple juice (3 oz), fresh lime juice (1/2 oz) and Angostura bitters (2 dashes).

  2. 2

    Shake

    Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker feels cold and well-chilled.

Serve

  1. 3

    Prepare glass

    Fill a tall glass (collins or double old-fashioned) with fresh ice, leaving room for the shaken mix and a splash of grenadine.

  2. 4

    Strain and layer grenadine

    Strain the shaken cocktail into the prepared glass over ice. Slowly pour the grenadine (1/4 oz) down the inside of the glass so it sinks and creates a red gradient at the bottom (a small splash can also be added on top for color).

  3. 5

    Float 151 (optional)

    If you want a stronger presentation, gently float an additional 1/4 oz of 151-proof rum on top by pouring it over the back of a spoon. Use caution with overproof rum near open flame.

  4. 6

    Garnish and finish

    Garnish with a pineapple wedge and/or maraschino cherry. Serve with a straw and an optional stirrer so the drinker can mix the grenadine in as they like.

Safety & Tips

  1. 7

    This is a high-proof cocktail. Remind guests of the strength and encourage responsible consumption. If serving multiple drinks, consider reducing the 151 and White Lightnin' amounts or offering a lower-proof variation by omitting the overproof rum and adding an extra ounce of pineapple juice or light rum.
