It's very similar to the 1956 Zombie recipe found in Sippin' Safari but this one has even more booze.

From Tropical Rum Drinks and Cuisine by Don The Beachcomber:

*3/4 ounce lime juice
1/2 ounce grapefruit juice
1/2 ounce Falernum
1/2 ounce simple syrup
1 1/4 ounces Ramirez Royal Superior
1 ounce Lemon Hart Demerara 151
1 ounce Palau 30-year
1 ounce Myers Planter's Punch
1 ounce Treasure Cove 32-year
2 dashes Angostura bitters
2 dashes Pernod
1 dash Absinthe
3 dashes grenadine
3/4 ounce Maraschino liqueur

Pour above ingredients into a blender. Add a handful of small cracked ice. Blend at medium speed. Pour into a 14 ounce glass with 3 or 4 cubes of ice. Decorate with a spear of fresh pineapple, orange, cherry, sprig of mint. Serve with a straw. Sip with eyes half-closed.*

Naturally I had to substitute some of the rums. I also think the drink will benefit by using less Maraschino liqueur as it was totally taking over the flavor.

And although I had a couple of other drinks prior to the Zombie, things went somewhat wrong after it, haha.
