Whether you're fighting off a real invasion of zombies from your front lawn, playing the Konami published video game Zombie Apocalypse, watching the film 2012: Zombie Apocalypse by Syfy or The Asylum (starring Ving Rhames, of course), or whether you’re enjoying the music of a crossover thrash/metalcore band of the same name, you need some hard liquid refreshments to help you cope, win, succeed, evade, destroy, or otherwise tolerate the Zombies and their wrath.
It is your responsibility to make sure you have what it takes for zombie apocalypse survival!
Here are some great drinks you should add to your zombie survival gear list to help you in your efforts:
The Zombie
The Zombie is a cocktail made of fruit juices, liqueurs, and various rums, so named for its perceived effects upon the drinker, and was developed by Hollywood's Don the Beachcomber restaurant in the 1930s, and was popularized at the 1939 New York World's Fair.
Death in the Afternoon
Then there is Death in the Afternoon... This potent combination of champagne and absinthe was a favorite of Ernest Hemingway. “Papa” would drink 3 to 5 of these, but always slowly, for there can be truth in the name of this cocktail, you would not want to end up a zombie in the middle of the afternoon, or maybe you would!
El Diablo
You could combine tequila, Creme de Cassis and lime juice in a shaker, and then fill it with ice, shake vigorously, and then strain it into a short tumbler filled with ice, and top with ginger beer. Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge... that is what they call El Diablo.

- 1 oz pineapple juice
