Why Is It Called A Zombie Brain Shot?

The Brain part of this shot happens when the Baileys Irish Cream reacts with the Peach Schnapps.

Just with with other “Brain Shot”, the Baileys curdles when it hits the other alcohol and creates a floating brain look inside the schnapps.

The effect is interesting to say the least and while not very pretty, it does make this cocktail perfect for Halloween.

The key to making the Zombie brain shot work is to drink it right away and to slowly pour each ingredient as you make the drink.

Zombie Brain Hemorrhage Shot Ingredients

This Zombie brain hemorrhage shot recipe is a must-have for any Halloween party.

The drink tastes like a mix of peach and Baileys, but it also has a slightly minty taste.

To make the Zombie Brain Shot you need:

Peach Schnapps
Baileys (or similar Irish Cream)
Grenadine
Creme de Menthe

The measurements for this drink are pretty fluid because the drink is all about the Zombie brain look.

You essentially want 1 part of each of the ingredients minus the Peach schnapps.

This means that you use an equal part of each ingredient.

I free pour this drink as a little bit extra of any ingredient will not make or break it.

You may be familiar with the other “brain hemorrhage shot recipes such as the Alien Brain Hemorrhage Shot Recipe.

The Zombie version is a bit different because of the Creme de Menthe which is an alcoholic mint liqueur.

If you don’t have any on hand, you can use green food coloring in a pinch as a substitute with a drop or two of peppermint essence.

The fact that, aside from the grenadine, this recipe is 100% alcohol will make you start feeling like a zombie if you drink too many.

You can use a regular shot glass for this drink although I find that a taller rather than wide one will make the zombie brain look better (or worse, depends on how you look at it!).
