Despite it being in the Grog Log and all, personally I really don't care for this recipe. Laird's Applejack is some pretty vile stuff. Paint thinner might work just as well and maybe even taste better. I very much doubt that this is the original Don The beachcomber Zombie recipe. I would believe the one given in Intoxica to be closer.

I also have my own recipe that I think works pretty well.

• 1 oz Spiced Rum (Trader Vic’s Spiced, Captain Morgan, or Redrum Voodoo)
• 1-1/2 oz aged Rum (Rhum Barbancourt preferred, or Mount Gay Sugar Cane)
• 1 oz Dark Rum (Myers’s, Whaler’s, Pusser’s blue label)
• 1 oz Apricot Brandy or Apricot Liqueur
• 1 oz Lime Juice
• teaspoon Falernum
• ½ oz Passion Fruit or mango syrup
• 4 oz Papaya Pineapple juice/nectar (or just papaya)
• a little cherry brandy optional
• ½ oz 151 demerrara float

It's not an original Zombie, either, but has been said before nobody really knows what the original Zombie is. As long as it contain 4 oz of blended rums and some type of tropical fruit juice, maybe anything could be a zombie.
