Gantt's Tomb: Modernized Zombie Recipe | Cocktail Fridays
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This week we feature another killer cocktail from Death & Co, this time from Brian Miller, one of the original master mixologists from the flagship location in Manhattan. Brian claims this was an attempt to make a new tiki cocktail in reference to Donn Beach's Zombie that would be not too sour or too sweet, and we think this is a masterfully balanced cocktail that Gantt himself would be proud of.
Gantt's Tomb by Brian Miller
¾ oz (22 ml) Pineapple Juice
½ oz (15 ml) Lemon juice
½ oz (15 ml) Orange juice
½ oz (15 ml) Simple syrup
¼ oz (8 ml) Pimento Dram
1 oz (30 ml) Gosling’s Black Seal Rum
1 oz (30 ml) Rittenhouse 100-proof rye
½ oz (15 ml) 151 proof dememerara Rum
Shake with ice, serve over crushed ice in collins glass.
Garnish with mint sprig.

Haha, that is always MY reaction when I realize I have all the ingredients, as well! I always feel like I hit all the numbers in the powerball when I read the recipe and everything matches 😆 Enjoy, buddy!
Love the riff, love the name! This is going on the list for sure.

For sure!! As you probably already know, it comes from one of the two tiki-masters of the Tri-State area, Brian Miller (with Ryan Liloia as the other), excellent balance! Cheers, thanks for watching!
And I have everything, EXCEPT, the Lemonhart 😭 Some day, I'll "learn" these people! Awesome opening by the way! Cheers

It really it one of my favs, I had this many weeks ago and couldn't wait to feature it on the show, I think it's another perfectly balanced masterpiece from the Death & Co. folks!
Such a fun video!
Fun intro as usual! ha! Death & Co is in fact the Harvard of mixology. I don't think I've ever had a dud from them. Wait...Rittenhouse makes me a...geek?? 🤓

They're wizards, they are. And yea! I never realized what a geek I was either, until ol' Brian Miller told me so! 😆😆 Thanks for watching, Vino!!
I have had a few zombies in my adventures. I will say it is probably my favorite tiki recipe. always love the videos. cheers

Zombies are so crazy to me, they're such a specific non-specific recipe, I feel like most tiki bars I've been to (and I've been to a lot...) all have their own house zombie, or some variation of it, and they're all interesting in their own way. But yes, this is one of my favorite zombie variations I've ever experienced. super fun! Thanks for watching, Doc! You're the best!

Haha, glad you dug it, thank you!
I'm judging you over the use of passionfruit at the start of the video... And also the start time... People were all like, watch this live show, and I went in and then saw a notification that said, cocktail fridays... So, priorities, right? Here I am... Then I sad, because I didn't have passionfruit from the open... then I was happy that I actually did... Then I was sad that it wasn't even used... Have crushed ice I wanted to use up, so this will be made tonight or tomorrow!

Haha! I condone this judgement, as I have absolutely no excuse-- especially because we filmed the damn intro AFTER the main section was done... so we KNEW we wouldn't be using passion fruit.. and yet I chose it anyway for the intro.. apparently my brain was still evaporated from drinking this mean cocktail. But yes, I hope you love it, it's definitely a favorite of mine! Cheers, Matt!!
It looks lovely and I will try it. But the only thing it has in common with the Zombie is Demerara 151.

You’re absolutely right 😅 I suppose this is more “zombie inspired” in Brian millers words, rather than being a riff. I guess it still kicks like a zombie at least! I hope you enjoy it! 🍹cheers!
How did I miss this one for two months? I need to get some orange juice and I'm good to go!

This was a fun episode to make, and basically doing a drive-by piece on Brian Miller, from my favorite cocktail franchise-establishment. Normally OJ is a flavor-killer, but the folks at D&C found a way to make it wonderful. of course they did! Cheers, Robert!
Love your setup for this. Looks like a good drink too!

Thank you, Andrew!! Hope you get to try this recipe; I think it’s a real hidden gem in the Death and Co. history!
You guys crack me up. This one is so very tiki right? Throw everything you have at it and shake it up. Love the departure and peppery goodness from the rye as well! Looks yum! I hv a recipe if you need it for simple syrup btw! 😉

Yes! I love how particularly balanced this recipe is, definitely an out-of-the-gate masterpiece from the early days of Death n Co. and ya we’re planning on making a good Demerara syrup once this current batch runs out 😂 sometimes we’re just lazy though and pick up good high quality syrup when we pass by it in the store, just depends on our mood I guess 😅 thanks for watching as always, Ann!

Haha oh yes… very much so. When I first made this for myself…. I was both amazed that it screwed me up so much… and sad, since I wanted another one but knew I would basically fall on my face if I did.
YESSSSS!!! Still first!!!!

TIM, my man. Sorry that I had to delete the original version from this morning, I had made a glaring mistake in one of the recipe graphics, and couldn't update it until I got home from work. 😆 Bless you for commenting again!
