More hardcore than the Mai Tai, the Zombie's legend begins in the 1930s, when Don the Beachcomber first mixed the brutal concoction at his restaurant in Hollywood (limit: Two per customer). It picked up speed at the 1939 World's Fair, and has since steamrolled many a tropical drink drunk with its improv-friendly combo of rums, juices, and brandies. If you're looking for something strong but don't quite want to channel the undead, give these other high-octane tiki classics a shot.
