My only problem with this (and it is nothing to do with the reviews, which are good) but the value for money of the Zombies.
With the recipe going something like

3/4 OZ Lime Juice
1/2 OZ Grapefruit Juice
1/2 OZ Fallernum
1/2 OZ Simple Syrup
1-1/4 OZ Light Puerto Rican Rum
1 OZ Lemon Hart Demerara Rum
1 OZ Meyers's Dark
1 OZ Appleton Estate Rum
1 OZ Ron Zacapo Rum (or MT. Gay?)
2 dashes Pernod
2 dashes Angostura bitters
1 Dash Absinthe, Pernod
3 dashes Grenadine
3/4 Marashino Liquor

It is impossible to make a real Zombie for $6 especially with bar/staff costs involved.
Either these bars are making them as a loss leader/no profit or something is missing.

A well made Zombie at £10+ is actually still good value
