The last time I had a Zombie was when I was at the Trader Vic's in Atlanta. ... Joel (the bartender ) showed me, but I totally forgot , Anybody know of this one?

A little late, but here goes (as published in the Atlanta Journal, reportedly from "the bartender at Trader Vic's, Joel"):
-Juice of half a lime
-1 1/2 oz. fresh orange juice
-1 oz. lemon juice
-1/4 oz. (Trader Vic's) grenadine
-1 oz. curaçao
-1 oz. light PR Rum
-1 oz. Dark Jamaican Rum
-Scoop of shaved ice
-Garnish w/fresh mint leaves
(Repeat as necessary)

Personally I like these drinks more strong than fruity.. hence Zombie. This is an excellent recipe from the master:

From Bartender's Guide by Trader Vic - 1947

1 oz Jamaican Rum
2 oz Puerto Rican Rum
1/2 oz 151 Demerara Rum
1 oz Orange Curacao
1 oz Lemon
1 oz Orange Juice
1/2 oz Grenadine
1 Dash pernod

Mix in a mixing glass with a large piece of ice; stir well and pour over cracked ice in a14 oz. chimney glass. serve with straw.

Similar to the Atlanta recipe above...
