Wood’s Zombie Island Cocktail (Tropical Rum + Raspberry Maple Twist)
Albert Wood
Wood’s Raspberry Smash Syrup.
Garnish Talk (Optional, But It’s a Whole Personality)
In the original notes, Al Wood mentions wishing he had an orange wedge for garnish—so consider this your official permission slip to be that person with the citrus. (And if you don’t have an orange, a lime wheel works too. We’re not calling the garnish police.)
Orange wedge = classic tropical flair
Lime wheel = simple and sharp
Pineapple leaf = “I planned this,” even if you didn’t
When to Serve It
This cocktail is perfect for:
summer nights and porch hangs
game night (especially if you want people to stay cheerful)
any party where “fun drink” is on the agenda
the “I survived today” celebration you absolutely deserve
Bonus: it’s fast to make, which means you can actually enjoy your own party instead of bartending the entire time like an unpaid resort employee.
