Instructions

I "invented" this drink when trying to decide between making Zombies, Hurricanes, or Mai Tais for my fathers birthday. He said it tasted exactly like the Mai Tais at my mothers favorite tiki bar, which is odd, because there is no Orange Juice or Curacao, and because it has passionfuit, the key ingredient of a Hurricane! He also made a face like he had just touched the third rail on the subway when he drank it topped with the Overproof (which he has been known to drink straight), so watch out! Also, this drink is good fresh, but even better when refrigerated for a couple hours. Make sure your blender is large enough, because this will make a pitcher of zomtaicanes.Combine all of the ingredients except for the overproof in a blender, and blend until ice is gone. Pour into hurricane glasses. Top with overproof (only for the brave!)

About Brandons Zomtaicane

Brandon's Zomtaicane is a potent and exotic cocktail that brings together a rich blend of tropical flavors and a variety of rums, creating a drink that's both complex and indulgent. This cocktail is a tropical paradise in a glass, combining the sweetness of pineapple juice and passion fruit puree with the nuanced flavors of light and dark rums, apricot brandy, and peach schnapps. The addition of Appleton Estate Extra 18 Rum and Appleton Estate 21 Rum adds a layer of aged sophistication, while the J. Wray and Nephew White Overproof Rum provides a bold finish. The Triple Sec and a hint of sugar add to the sweetness, balanced by the citrusy tang of the margarita mix. Served over crushed ice, it's a refreshing and vibrant drink that captures the spirit of a summer getaway.

The history of Brandon's Zomtaicane is as multifaceted as its ingredients, inspired by the classic Tiki culture cocktails of the mid-20th century, which emphasized extravagant presentations and tropical flavors. Tiki cocktails often feature a mix of rums and fruit juices, designed to transport the drinker to a carefree, island setting. While the origins of Brandon's Zomtaicane are not tied to any single historical anecdote, it stands as a modern homage to this tradition, embodying the adventurous and festive spirit that Tiki drinks are known for. This cocktail is perfect for those looking to experience a taste of the tropics with a contemporary twist.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Punch Bowl, Jug, or Pitcher, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
