Hot zombie

The Zombie is a notoriously powerful rum cocktail that emerged from the theme bars of post-war California and spawned countless imitations. One of these was the Hot Zombie, invented by a Puerto Rican rum company. Served with a spoonful of butter on top, it’s like a tropical variation on Hot Buttered Rum.
