Congrats, Don! The Torani stuff is very good, don't you think? Glad I was able to help you find it.
The Zombie is, of course, a much more simple (and yet much more complicated) concoction. All I've been able to figure out about it is that it is much better to make it with Really Good Rum. This, of course, can get a bit pricey but it's worth it. A Zombie made with Cheap Rum is Good. A Zombie made with Good Rum is GREAT!
Also... Go ahead and mix Doubles of Everything. Tiki mugs and glasses tend to be large. I have yet to find a reason not to fill them to the top. The people for whom you are constructing these drinks will thank you, albeit in a slurred voice.
