This inventive drink takes its inspiration from The Walking Dead, because everyone knows that the only chance to beat zombie infection is to swap out your blood for booze.

  • 2 ounces Cognac
  • 1 ounce Ancho Reyes chile liqueur
  • 1 ounce Crème Yvette liqueur

  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • Lemon wheels or raspberries for garnish
