Sweet Refreshing

Zima Blaster는 1990년대에 인기를 끌었던 투명한 시트러스 풍미의 맥아 음료인 Zima와 Chambord 라즈베리 리큐어를 결합한 단순한 칵테일로, 허리케인 잔에 얼음 위에 제공된다. Chambord의 풍부한 진한 라즈베리와 블랙커런트 단맛이 가볍고 상큼한 Zima를 더 과일향 나는 복잡한 음료로 변환시키며 선명한 색상 그라디언트를 만든다. 1990년대를 향수하는 칵테일이다.

History & Origins

The Zima Blaster emerged in the early-to-mid 1990s alongside Zima's commercial launch by Coors Brewing Company in 1993. Zima was marketed as an 'alternative to beer,' appealing to consumers who found beer too bitter — adding Chambord was a common bar customization that increased sweetness and complexity. The drink's origin is disputed and likely evolved simultaneously across multiple American bars as bartenders experimented with the new product.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Light citrus and malt from the Zima with Chambord's intense raspberry and blackcurrant sweetness. Palate: Sweet and fruity, with Chambord's dark berry richness complementing Zima's light, citrusy malt character; the combination is more interesting than either component alone. Finish: Sweet and berry-forward with lingering raspberry and a light malt note from the Zima.

Pro Tip

Pour the Chambord over ice before adding the Zima to create an attractive color gradient that slowly integrates as the drink is consumed.
