Completely frantic now to make a proper Don the Beachcomber Zombie, I finally used the very Goya product you mentioned. I followed Beachbum's recipe but instead of one ounce of passion fruit syrup, I used two ounces of the Goya passion fruit beverage. The Zombies were great, and so different from what I expected (a super-boozy drunkfest). The balance of ingredients in this recipe is so perfect that the rums never overpower the fruits and the passion fruit steps up with a lovely zing. I made them using my IKEA Groggy ice crusher for the first time and the crushed ice really made a difference, too, so pleasant and frosty.
