Wow! Thanks for the props! I had a couple of those the other night they were so good, the next day I ordered two large bottles of pineapple gomme from SHF . . . now I'm waiting for it to get here!

So last night I had to figure something else out, so I made a Zombie variant, which was good, a little more on the sweet side, but still tasty (although I think I like the "rum barrel" better, more testing required :wink: )

juice of one lime
juice of one lemon
1/2 oz TV Navy Grog concentrate
1/2 oz simple syrup
1 oz Rasberry gomme syrup
1 oz pineapple juice
1 oz El Dorado 3 yr white
1 oz El Dorado 5 yr amber
1 oz LH151
couple shakes of angostura bitters

the sourness of all the fruit cuts through the sweetness of the rasberry . . . just seems to me that TV Navy Grog concentrate just sort of brings everything together in these drinks . . . I have exactly 1 oz of TV Navy Grog concentrate left of my first bottle . . . thank goodness I have two bottles left (but need to stock up if it goes up for sale again, good stuff!)

Cheers! And thanks again for the kind words!
