Been a long cockatil making draught for various reasons. I decided to make something complicated from Sippin to get back into it. Made the Zombie 1956.
Very good. A complex drink that changes greatly from first sip to last swig.

I found it to be too heavy on the maraschino liqueur. That's all I tasted. Anybody have any advice on how to better use this liqueur? I am using the Luxardo.

Now....the 1934 Zombie Punch! Mmmm. My mistake was drinking half of the 1956 before making the 1934. I was zombified in no time.

So far, I have made my own ginger and cinnamon syrups from the directions in the book . Very good. I also have some pimento dram brewing in the pantry. I bought some grenadine and vanilla syrup from Sonoma Syrup Company. The grenadine is good as my homemade. Vanilla is awesome.
