I didnt realize you're using a wider angle lense and when the video started, those drinks looked MASSIVE!! Like double pint zombies!! HAHAHA ...looks great, love Zombies!
LOL, They look a bit bigger on my little bar than they really are. These are standard zombie or collins glasses! Lotsa ice! I remember you asked for a report back on the Zombie Blend. Well, here yuh go! It's wonderful and great in a Mai Tai! Cheers Rob. Great to see you in the comments! Have a great weekend!
You do have to appreciate a bit of convenience when putting together a super-charged drink like this! I think just one for me will do. Thanks so much Ann!
Just a few sips is all I need! It's an interesting cocktail. It was a fun comparison as well. Thanks for stopping by. CHeers and have a wonderful weekend!
Your husband at the end. 😂😂 Great breakdown Ann. I’ve only had the Zombie once in my 44 years of existence. Not terribly memorable compared to other tiki cocktails I’ve had but perhaps I need to try again! Cheers dear!
Yeah, not my favorite Tiki cocktail by far, but a good one to try and improve upon and discuss. I think they are worth trying with your own blend of rums. Who knows you may have a new go to cocktail. My husbands a real ham. Creative person. I'm lucky to have him along for the ride. Thanks for always supporting me and watching. Cheers and enjoy this long weekend!
The Glasses are so fun. I love them and making cocktails in all of my glassware. Thanks Keino. I always appreciate your support! Have a lovely weekend.
Even though it sounds really strong, I definitely want to try the 1934 version. Probably just one!😂 The Beach Bum Berry seems like the more enjoyable drink for sure! Great cameo by your husband at the end!😄 Always enjoy watching you make drinks!!
Great episode idea!! I've wanted to do exactly this for my own experimentation, lining up a homemade 34 zombie up against a beachbum/hamilton blend. I only recently had the rum blend on it's own, and have yet to get my hands on a bottle to make one, but I would imagine it's a killer combo of flavor, as you describe here. Also! I love that idea of using grapefruit bitters to help tilt red grapefruit into the flavor direction of white grapefruit, definitely going to do that myself. Cheers, Ann!!
Thanks so much. I love these kind of experiments. Definitely a fun one to do. I live in a control state so I had to order my bottle. But it's great in a Mai Tai and pretty much anything that calls for a blend of rums actually. I live on the i5 corridor and still can't get great citrus choices. But that bitters trick really does work. Always appreciate your feedback my friend. Mahalo and have a wonderful weekend.
Love the ending!!! To be honest, I was actually surprised with the outcome. I was expecting you were going to say that you like the original better. Great tip on the grapefruit bitters too. I can only really find red grapefruit around here right now. Awesome job Ann!
Thanks so much for watching. I love tiki and rum, but somethings are just to powerful for my delicate system! LOL, the OG is very boozey. I like them both, but yeah the Beach Bum Berry Blend is better! Cheers Jeff! Have a great week!
I have a few mosts of my Tiki collection before the last two I got over on FB (Home Bartender with Ann) and I think on my IG. I made a tiki shelf and posted those pix's there! Check that out. That doesn't include my classic cocktail collection. Thanks for watching my friend. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
I watched it this morning on my big screen, but came back to comment. I love those glasses and how big they are. I really love Hamilton rums also. Great video, Ann!
Hi there Ray. The glasses do look really large, but hey are just standard Collins glasses. I love them though. I am digging this rum blend because it's great in other cocktails like a Mai Tai! If you don't have this one, don't hesitate. It's great! Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by! Cheers!
Oh, thank you so much for the kind words. I appreciate you stopping in and watching and taking the time to comment. You make the sweetest things on your channel. Thank you and I'll see you next week.
They are a bit complicated, so much stuff. But that's Tiki for you. You won't get to far without a lot of ingreds with Tiki. It's a great classic for sure. Thank goodness we have more rums and great things to choose from when it comes to these Zombies. BTW, I did not drink both of these. I had approx 1 of this filming and that set me up! Cheers to both of you and thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!
Thanks so much for the kind words my friend! I love and use all of my glassware. So fun! I'll be here next week making a really fun Tiki cocktail. Hope to see you in the comments then! Cheers and have a great week!
The 1934 zombie has 4.5oz of rum! The Hamilton blend is a blend of rums from Jamaica, Guyana, and Trinidad, but that’s all we know. If you want an even simpler version that’s also well balanced, I recommend checking out the Simplified Zombie by Berry.
Weelllll, I believe it’s 4 oz all together of rum with that Falernum bringing in the .5 oz of further alcohol. I’m not sad that they have not released the exact actual rums they have used for the blend. I love that I don’t have to source them myself. 😜I have tried the Simplified version. Do like the Don Q in there or are you using something else? I was thinking the Flor De Cana 4 yr. I appreciate the convo, thanks for commenting for sure! Cheers!
@@TheHomeBartenderwithAnn you’re right. It is 4oz, but even still. It’s a doozy. For the Simplified version I’ll go with something like 1oz Coruba and 1/2oz Hamilton 151. I know the recipe says Puerto Rican 151, and Iv tried it with that, but like it better with an overproof demerara.
Pssssttt. I had to order it online. But, you can do a killer Mai Tai with it as well so it's worth it! Hugz to you and Sparkle. Enjoy the weekend! Cheers!
If you can find the bottle of The Zombie blend, you can make a wonderful Mai Tai with it! I had to order mine. Not sure about Canada. Cheers Jon, have a great weekend!
Mai Tai's are pretty spot on with this blend as well. It smells delightful when you open it for sure. Now you know which one Zombie recipe to make. I really liked it, so I'm not going to keep making them. 😉 Hope you both a have a relaxing weekend. Cheers and thank so much for the support!
Because your day would be shot! Lol!! I rarely make or get them for that reason alone! But that Hamilton rum makes way to easy to put back! So good! 🤤Thanks for watching! As you can see, I’m tiki heavy, but I do love a good Amaro. So I throw those in every now and then! Mahalo for watching! Enjoy your Sunday!
Great analysis of these Tiki cocktails Ann!! I am proud of you. This is a lot of work and you are making such fabulous drinks. I'm going to go with the improved updated option. Wow the other one is very boozy!! Yikes I'd be knocked right out!! Lol!! I always learn so much from your videos and I look forward to them a lot!! Oh P.S. Your husband was hilarious at the end!! Too funny!! Have a great weekend!! Be well!! :-)
Christine. I always look forward to seeing you in the comments. Let me ask you a question. Do you miss seeing the bottles at the top of the video's. Meaning the exact ingredients I use for that day's cocktail?
@@TheHomeBartenderwithAnn I'm totally fine with that change - where the viewer could see the ingredients you would be using in the cocktail!! Your videos are really terrific and making subtle changes switches things up!! I like that a lot!! You are rocking this!! Have a terrific Sunday Ann!! :-)
I did take some pictures for the thumbnail as if I were a Zombie..But alas they just didn't work for this one. I'll have to some up with a good Halloween one and shoot them a bit further out. Cheers and I really appreciate your support! Have a great weekend!
PETER!!!! I'm so happy to see you in my comments! Awhh. 🤗 We miss you in the discord world my friend. I hope you are well and life is good. Very busy I assume. So happy you found time to check my progress here! 😉 As for the cocktail, yeah...one is plenty for me! Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope to see you again. Be well and have beautiful weekend!
@@TheHomeBartenderwithAnn thanks Ann. I miss you too guys. Really hoping I will be back soon. Miss being part of all this. It's simply too much fun to leave it. Hehe Cheers and have a great weekend you too.
Forbidden Island, on my bucket list. Now to find the time. There's a reason I don't order a Zombie when I got to a tiki bar. But, it's fun to let other's experience it! 😉 Cheers Pete and thank you for your support!
Well I love the original but I have different Falernum, though the smugglers cove is better balance. Funny just flipped the Beachbum Grog Log and the recipe there has apple Jack and papaya nectar. I forgot I had not tried it. Great video as always.
I imagine you can go right down to Latitude and get yourself a great Zombie! On my bucket list for sure! Thanks for checking in and report back if you actually do that. You know where to find me! Cheers enjoy the weekend!
Oh wow! That is a bummer. Well, lucky for you there are plenty of tiki drinks w/o grapefruit. I'm not a huge grapefruit fan. But I guess I may take that for granted. Come by next Friday. I'm excited about the cocktail I have lined up. I'm sure you will enjoy it. Have a wonderful weekend my friend and thanks for watching!
This was a fun one for me to experiment with. Zombies…ultimately not my thing. But it did open up Hamilton’s rum choices to me. I liked the blend and went on to try others in the collection. Going further down the rabbit hole is fun! Lol! Thanks for checking this one out! Have a great week!
Well hello there and Welcome. I generally make tiki/tropical cocktails and throw an amaro in there every now and then. Though I do have a good library of classic cocktails in a playlist. Just learning a lot and trying to give people at home some good recipes. I always appreciate comments. It really helps the channel. Thanks so much for the sub. If you like the channel, I would appreciate it if you would pass it on to others. Great to have you, thanks again and see you next Friday. I’ll be making something in a super fun mug. It’s a delicious cocktail! Cheers! Have a great weekend!
No worries my friend. Never to late. Plus, I gotta go over and watch part two on your channel. Hard to keep up with so many friends! Thanks for being here no matter when. Cheers! Bientôt!

@@TheHomeBartenderwithAnn 😂😂
Excellent! Loved the ending! LOL sorry I'm late 😎
LOL, never to late my friend! Hope you enjoyed your weekend. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers!
I will drink both..lol. Cool drink and cool history lesson on the 1930s version. Cheers, Ann.
LOL, That's the limit. Two is all yuh get TK. I'm happy with one! Thanks TK for always supporting the channel. Have a great weekend my friend!
Cheers, bartender Ann and i'm very happy that people subscribe to you channel for sure.
Well thank you for the kind words. I appreciate you and your support! Good to see you in the comments again. Cheers and enjoy your weekend!
Now these look fantastic, I can see one or even both of these with me during summer 😊😊
Why not both? Tip for me..drink them slow and every other sip is water! Cheers D. I appreciate your support and hope you enjoy your weekend!
Awesome sharing enjoyed watching always stay connected ⚘
Thanks so much for stopping by my friend. I apprecaite the comment. Stay tuned, Friday I will lite a cocktail on Fire!

@@TheHomeBartenderwithAnn Part of my love of the OG zombie is that it IS so boozey, and really gives you a run for the money!!!! lol
I don't think you are runnin anywhere after 2! 🤤 Good bang for the buck though, you are right!🤣
Enjoyed all the info on the 1934 Zombie. Crazy huh. Although I think CT would like the 4 oz. Of booze. Lol. Another great video Ann. 🙂
How funny! I think he maybe able to handle that 4 oz. of booze. Cheers, thanks for watching and I hope you both get well soon! Cheers!
I’d love to see your glass collection! You have such neat glasses! Zombies are a great cocktail! -S

@@TheHomeBartenderwithAnn it’s a locally made syrup from Prosyro. Lovely demerara, cloves, citrus and hints of rum.
Mmmm, sounds great. I think John D could have a bit more spice, but it's a good balance. Don't want to much.
you know i have never had a zombie before now i know which style to try first
