I am going to ask Jeff Berry about them but I’d love to hear from any TCer who knows something. The Eastern Sour appears as the Eastern Whiskey Sour in the Trader Vics Tiki Party book and also in the old TV Bartender Guides. I'm guessing its the same drink. Berry's Taboo Table has a Tradewinds drink but its obviously not the same one because its nothing like a Scorpion and he attributes the origin of the recipe as being "Carribean circa 1970s." Maybe he renamed his Tradewinds something else? I've got a copy of the Hawaii Kai Cookbook published in 1970 and it has a recipe for a Headhunter Zombie. Now I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that its probably the same drink as that there Zombie Headhunter. :) I kind of prefer the latter name. A Headhunter Zombie can only mean one thing: a zombie that hunts for and collects heads. A Zombie Headhunter, however, could mean that as well or could also mean one who hunts for and collects the heads of zombies! Plus it just sounds cooler. Could someone that has a Hawaii Kai drink menu look and see which name they use on the menu?
