  • Solid. Essentially a Jet Pilot, but works nicely in this up-served variation. Quantity of ingredients are a tad much for my coupe glasses, but there are worse problems to have.

More of a Jet Pilot than a Zombie - it's pretty much literally a Jet Pilot with the Herbstura separated and the absinthe/herbsaint being used as a wash, served up. Probably my favorite flavor combo, but I do prefer it over crushed ice. Still delicious.

Suave Zombie or sophisticated Jet Pilot? Delicious either way!

  • I subbed Punt e Mes for the CAF. This consequently gained an interesting hint of bitterness, but lost some richness. It may have too many things going on in any event--don't think I'd ever choose this over a Sazerac proper.

  • Used a good mezcal. But Averna and a really cheap creme de cacao. Still very good and complex. Will definitely serve this to professional bartender friends to make them feel inadequate.
  • Made (as noted by someone else) with green chartreuse & reduced lime. Deliciously decadent!! Great after dinner. — ★★★★★
  • Had to use Green Charteuse. Reduced lime to 5/8 oz.
  • MUST TRY

Shawn C commented on 4/11/2023:

Haus Alpenz has a variation of this calling for Dopo Teatro in place of Punt e Mes. I did not have the Pear Eau-de-vie specified, but I did have some Schladerer Kirschwasser which is often too dry and too assertive with a cherry pit distillate essence. I expected the result to be something mediocre, but the combination of Dopo Teatro, kirschwasser and R&W Apricot liqueur made for an excellent flavor trio. A complex and satisfying sipper.
