This drink is one of the Boothby Top 50 Drinks of the Year 2022 — you can see the full Top 50 here.

“Our take on a Don Beachcomber Zombie, a staple of most tiki bars,” says Jacoby’s co-owner Pasan Wijesena. “[The] grog blend best approximates a classic tiki rum blend while keeping COGS in mind! House-made falernum and orgeat add spice and sweetness. We wanted to add a bit more depth and complexity so hence the violette and brandy. It’s one of our more expensive drinks but it’s consistently in the top three best sellers. And yes you can have more than 3!”
