Ingredients
Scale
Alcohol:
- 1 oz (30 ml) light rum
- 1 oz (30 ml) dark rum
- 1 oz (30 ml) overproof rum (151-proof, if available)
- 1 oz (30 ml) Midori melon liqueur
Juices:
- 1 oz (30 ml) pineapple juice
- 1 oz (30 ml) orange juice
- 1/2 oz (15 ml) lime juice (freshly squeezed)
Additional Ingredients:
- 1/2 oz (15 ml) grenadine
- Ice cubes
Garnish:

Instructions
- Chill a cocktail shaker by adding a generous handful of ice cubes, creating a frosty base for this potent tropical libation.
- Layer the trio of rums – light, dark, and overproof – into the shaker, followed by the vibrant green Midori liqueur that will give the drink its signature color.
- Pour in the fresh fruit juices: tangy pineapple, zesty orange, and tart lime, creating a tropical flavor profile that balances the strong rum base.
- Add a splash of crimson grenadine, which will provide a subtle sweetness and create beautiful color gradients in the final drink.
- Secure the shaker lid and vigorously shake the mixture for 15-20 seconds, ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the drink is expertly chilled.
- Prepare a tall glass by filling it with fresh ice cubes to maintain the cocktail’s cool temperature.
- Strain the vivid mixture carefully into the prepared glass, allowing the liquid to cascade smoothly over the ice.
- Embellish the drink with a classic maraschino cherry perched on the rim and a delicate lime slice for a pop of color and additional citrus aroma.
- Present the “Nuclear Zombie” with a playful warning, inviting guests to enjoy this dangerously delicious tropical concoction responsibly.
Notes
- Carefully select high-quality rums for a more complex, layered flavor profile in your cocktail.
- Balance the intense rum combination by adjusting the fruit juice proportions to suit your taste preference.
- Use fresh-squeezed citrus juices for a brighter, more vibrant drink that elevates the overall cocktail experience.
- Opt for a large, tall glass with plenty of ice to keep the drink refreshingly cold and prevent quick dilution.
