Zombie Count

0

A Negroni-like base of gin, sweet vermouth and Campari is stretched with grapefruit and lime juice, then rounded out by cinnamon syrup, grenadine and a dash of absinthe. Bitter, tart and spiced, served over crushed ice. Created by Frederic Yarm in Somerville, Massachusetts, in 2020.

Similar names: Count ITP, Count Loretto, Down for the Count, Down for the Count (Negroni x Remember the Maine), The Count De Grace, The Count of Kingston, The Count's Swizzle

Frederic Yarm created the Zombie Count in 2020 for Negroni Week, combining the Negroni with the 1934 Zombie. The Campari-friendly grapefruit, cinnamon and grenadine are increased, while falernum is left out. The name honors Count Camillo Negroni, and Zombie Count was chosen over Count Zombie.
