History & Origin

The Zombie Brain shot is a Halloween party essential, designed to look like rotting brain matter. Strawberry liqueur provides the base, then Irish cream is dropped in where the acidity causes it to curdle into brain-like tendrils. A drop of blue curacao can add a decayed color. Gross to look at, delicious to drink.
