    My Grandfather Lee Healy, who owned perhaps the most popular joint in Hollywood, helped Ernie ( who was a regular Customer) by finding him the original 1930's Hollywood location, vouching for him as a tenant, and also lending him one of his Filipino cook/chefs to run the Beachcomber kitchen (not to mention frequently covering Ernie's bar tab). They were lifetime chums, and grandpa Lee eventually owned, developed, opened, & ran the Don The Beachcomber in Newport Beach (Corona Del Mar) from 1959 to 1966. We might as well say I kind of l lived there when I was a teenager. Lee had/knew all the original drink recipes, and he was such a 'player' he would occasionally slip us kids weak Mai Tais when Mom wasn't looking .

    The lesson to be learned is to not tell your customers the ingredients to the cocktail because you'll just lose a customer.

    For me, it is 2 parts: the cocktail and the ambiance of the locale. You can steal the recipe but not the ambiance.

    This is the most interesting cocktail I’ve ever had. So many layers to dissect while drinking. I swear I can taste every ingredient... or maybe I just think I can. This is a MUST if you love rum and/or tiki. While the ingredients are daunting the end result is worth the price of admission.

    Just found your channel and have been watching several episodes in a row. LOVE IT. Is Herbsaint an acceptable substitute for the Pernod in the Zombie? Thanks. PS my dad use to drag me to Bahooka for lunch on a weekday when I was a girl. We’d usually be the only customers there, it was so dark I couldn’t see my food. I would have much rather gone to In n Out. But now after all these years, I think I finally understand!

    I'm not sure how this would change the flavor profile, but I'm pretty sure all grapefruit in 1934 were far more bitter than those grown today, so at a guess, the original Zombie would have had an edge underlying the sweetness of the Don's Mix.

    • @markbowerii7632
      @markbowerii7632 Před 4 měsíci

      Hey, as a bartender, could you maybe tell me if just any absinthe will work in a zombie? Like I see he's using Mephisto which I gravitate towards because in my are it's cheaper than other more traditional absinthes but still at a high proof. I have a tendency to obsess over every detail of my cocktails and really just want to make sure I get it right.

I bought all the correct rums, made the syrup's and used the recipe that was in Smuggler's Cove book, it tasted just like Hale Pale, and we went absolutely nuts over it.

    @aaronwannamaker6506 Před rokem

    The interesting thing here is the comments about Bacardi… if this was a recipe from 1934, I guess consideration would be given that it would’ve been a Cuban rum at the time; before the Bacardi family would have had to flee. That would make for an interesting debate re: Bacardi now vs. Havana Club or was it a complete different beast at the time?
