Zombie #9
The most well-known origin story of the cocktail’s name suggests that mixologist Donn Beach created the Zombie in an attempt to cure the hangover of one of his regulars.
When Beach later asked how his cure had worked, the customer allegedly said it had made him feel like a ‘zombie.’
The Zombie is a typical Tiki-style cocktail made with rum, fruit juice and sweetener. Strong, with big flavours, this cocktail is a party in a glass all by itself.
Popup Event – Caribbean Celebration 25 Nov 22
Summer is coming! Join us at sunset for a laid-back celebration of island-style craft food and delicious rum cocktails made from award-winning artisanal rum.
Deep South Collaborations is delighted to bring you the first of our Friday night themed food & cocktail popups celebrating craft food, artisanal spirits and chilled music by local DJs.
Rum Old Fashioned
The Old Fashioned is a classic cocktail traditionally made with Whiskey. But a robust aged rum like the Deep South Amber, with its subtle caramels and smoky finish, mimic the whiskey while adding warming undertones. Carefully prepared here in a leisurely classic understated, time-honoured way.
Koperbobbejaan
The Brass Monkey cocktail traditionally combines rum and orange.
Our Koperbobbejaan (copper baboon) steps up the game a little with a more complex mix of flavours and is a slightly ironic tribute to the troop of baboons that regularly try to raid our distillery, overturn our dustbins and play tag on the metal roof!
Cuba Libre
Supposedly attributable to a US Army caption stationed in Havana in the 1900s, who added lime and Coca-Cola to his rum and toasted his Cuban comrades by saying “Por Cuba Libre” – “to a free Cuba”, this drink has become a worldwide favourite. It needs a full-bodied rum to stand up to the sweet Coke – with the fresh lime adding an essential role in bridging the gap between tropical rum and effervescent, spicy-sweet Coke.
Cape Norwester
Our variation on the classic Dark ’n Stormy cocktail traditionally made with dark rum and ginger beer. A strong heady rum cocktail. The secret is a really good spicy ginger beer that complements caramel notes and smoky finish of the Amber Rum.
Strawberry daiquiri
The Strawberry daiquiri with its glowing colours, fresh strawberry flavours and aromatic white rum is the quintessential party cocktail
Caipirinha
Blending the magic trio of white Rum, fresh lime and sweet sugar, the potent, heady Caipirinha is one of the classic rum cocktails
Rum Mojito
A refreshing, light rum cocktail with aromatic Deep South Premium White Rum, fragrant lime, fresh mint and sparkling soda water
Classic Rum Daiquiri
A classic rum daiquiri, with aromatic Deep South Premium White Rum perfectly balanced by fresh lime and simple syrup.
