I've contacted Jeff Berry about our plans he is as excited about them as we are. I email him tonight regarding posting the three main recipes that are listed in his books - I can't imagine this will be a problem. If you have the Grog Log, Intoxica, and Sippin Safari, you already have the recipes. The 1934 Zombie is listed in the Grog Log, Spievak's Zombie is listed in Intoxica under Don the Beachcomber's Zombie, Santiago's 1937 Zombie and 1956 Men's Caberet Zombie are both in Sippin Safari. We plan on changing the 1934 Zombie in Grog log as follows: Apricot Brandy instead of Apple Jack; Passion Fruit Syrup instead of Papaya Necter; Both of these substitutions can be found in the normal literature of bar manuals and old recipes. Also, the substituted ingredients are more commonly found in the bars of tiki drinkers. As for as rums, you'll need at least the following: Light Puerto Rican (sub Cruz-an) Gold Puerto Rican Appleton Estate Lemon Hart Demerera (some drinkers sub Barcardi Select)- Not us! Lemon Hart Demerera 151 Additionally, you will need Falernum Grenadine Pernod or some variant of - We will be using Absinthe Cinnamon Syrup Simple Syrup Pimento dram or liqueur Grapefruit Juice Lime Juice Lemon Juice If you are without Pimento dram and Cinnamon Syrup, have no fear: The Pimento-cinnamon and Grapefruit mix required for the 1937 Santiago Zombie can be made using a quick mixture something akin to the following formula: 2 tsp of Simple Syrup, dash of cinnamon 2 -3 crushed allspice berries, 1 tsp of grapefruit juice Mix and shake like hell. I don't have the Sippin Safari in front of me so the exact amounts may be off; however, the process works. Well, this is a start. By the way, we are now up to 5 Judges, 20 mugs, and 60 ounces of rum.
