Sweet Refreshing

Zima Blaster是一款将Zima——20世纪90年代流行的透明柑橘风味麦芽饮料——与尚博德覆盆子力娇酒结合的简单鸡尾酒，盛放于飓风杯中加冰提供。尚博德浓郁的深色覆盆子和黑醋栗甜味将清淡爽口的Zima转化为果味更浓、更为复杂的饮品，呈现出生动的色彩渐变。这是一款充满90年代怀旧感的鸡尾酒。

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.
