Head to head
Casino and Zombie side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference, by the numbers
They have no ingredient in common: the Casino has Old Tom gin, Maraschino liqueur, lemon juice and orange bitters, the Zombie dark rum, aged rum, lime juice, falernum, Donn’s Mix, grenadine, Angostura bitters and pastis. In parts, a Casino is 4 gin, 1 Maraschino and 1 lemon; a Zombie is 4 rum, 2¼ rum, 1 lime, ¾ falernum and ¾ Donn’s Mix. By volume, the Casino is 67% spirit, 17% liqueur and 16% citrus; the Zombie is 68% spirit, 11% citrus, 9% liqueur, 9% mixer and juice and 3% syrup and sugar. Different bottles, similar balance: that makes them close cousins on the ratio map.
The Casino is the stronger drink in the glass (18.4% ABV against 17.8%), but the Zombie is the bigger drink, so it holds more alcohol (2.83 standard drinks against 1.12). The Zombie has more calories (about 330 against 122) and more sugar (11.1 g against 2.8 g). The Casino is shaken and served in a rocks glass; the Zombie is blended and served in a highball.
