I created this drink for Cole’s French Dip for a fall 2019 Menu. To be fair I worked on it with The Cole’s and Varnish GM Bryan Tetorakis and of course, the inspiration behind this drink was the Zombie. But instead utilizing Agave spirits and Charanda which is a Mexican spirit very close to rum with lots of tropical fruit and “funk” notes in it. It’s one of my absolute favorite spirits.
Anyway, this is a drink I don’t think got enough attention when we published it the first time so here it is again. It’s also a perfect Halloween drink so…
