Zombie

The Zombie cocktail at Cafe des Amis in San Francisco packs a punch with Brugal Anejo Rum, Lemon Hart '151', pineapple, guava, lime and a cinnamon-cardamom tincture.  I also love how the cocktail menu also provides you with a nice short story to go along with each cocktail.  Per the Cafe des Amis menu, "Invented by Donn Beach of Hollywood's Don the Beachcomber restaurant, the Zombie first appeared in the late 1930's.  Cocktail lore has it that Beach concocted it one afternoon for a friend who had dropped by his restaurant before flying to San Francisco.  The friend left after consuming three of them.  He returned several days later to complain that he had been turned into a zombie for his entire trip."  I can definitely imagine if one were to consume one too many of this cocktail one would turn into the walking dead the next day.

The entertaining cocktail menu at Cafe des Amis was a nice surprise!  I'll be back to try out more on the menu.
