I had a chance to try out several of the drinks from Surfin' Safari (as well as the <a href="http://thespiritworld.net/2007/05/21/orgeat-and-the-fog-cutter/" rel="nofollow">Fog Cutter</a> from these pages) on my extended family. The Zombie (1956) was the runaway favorite. This is a "wow" drink at many levels. It just tastes good, but with layers of flavors. Truly a culinary cocktail. And the zombification effect is altogether pleasant. Beachbum Berry is a saint among cocktailians and his Surfin' Safari an essential part of the Canon of cocktail culture.

I just finished reading /Sippin' Safari/ myself. I think it is a classic of cocktail history right out of the gate. His chapter on the Zombie (three different "authentic" recipes!) was probably my favorite. Excellent! I just finished reading /Sippin’ Safari/ myself.
