I was just curious to see how the beachcomber book stacked up to Berry's recipes. I did try a few of the varied recipies in the Don book and found them to be quite good. The zombie recipe is strange though, it calls for a rum substitution for some rum no longer produced with captain morgan private stock spiced rum? I find it starnge that a hard core tiki drink would have spiced rum in it, I am not a big fan of spiced rum myself. I did try sailor jerry's once because the bottle was cool, but it tasted ehh ok. I do have a don the beachcomber barrel mug and it is really cool having the correct drink go in the vintage mug though. Aaron
