This year's Miami Rum Renaissance Festival begins with a killer seminar and cocktail contest dubbed the Zombie Jamboree at the legendary Mai-Kai restaurant in Fort Lauderdale on Monday, April 25, from 5 to 7 p.m. Invented by Don the Beachcomber in the 1930s, the infamous Zombie cocktail took the world by storm more than 75 years ago. The host for the Zombie Jamboree is the preeminent authority on Tiki cocktails, and the Zombie in particular, Jeff "Beachbum" Berry. The Bum will present his graduate-level thesis seminar on the creation - and the further evolution - of the Zombie, featuring samples of Don's classic 1934 and 1956 recipes. The seminar will be followed by demonstrations by several notable mixologists with their own variations of the deadly cocktail. Find out how Don's original drink recipes stack up to fresh interpretations from contemporary Zombie masters using their favorite rums. Guests will be asked to place a pirate coin in the bucket of the drink they enjoy most. The winner will be crowned Zombie Master of Rum Renaissance 2011. After the Zombie cocktail demonstrations, everyone is invited to stay for a fabulous dinner and exciting Polynesian style dance and fire show at The Mai-Kai. The cost of the two-hour seminar and drink demonstration is $25. RSVP is required for attendance at the Zombie Jamboree and dinner. Call the Mai Kai at (954) 563-3272 to RSVP.
