Ive noticed a lot of people are a bit, ummm, purist about the Zombie. Particularly the 1934 - I'm just saying!

We are all making efforts to recreate the flavour we don't know - unless we are 90 odd & can still remember our youth.

I've made a few 'google' recipes that weren't great. I've quite enjoyed Beachbum recipes Ive made subbing Woods 100 as I haven't had any LH151. Therefore technically not a 'real' Zombie in some eyes. Unless we've used the specific rums used at the time, technically, no-one has had any 'real' Zombies for a while!

Anyway, I have located a missing part of the my Zombie puzzle - a LH151 supplier to the UK & will be ordering some soon.

I recently discovered that Grog Log had another Zombie recipe. Wait - what!?! I'd not heard of that one!

I found out a bit more about the recipe & got to thinking: no doubt there are a lot of Zombie recipes out there but how many can we find in print?

I'm not talking about the ones you can find on drinks databases from Google without a source, I'm thinking of the 'forgotten' tiki bar recipes like the ones below circa 1930 to 1970! Id like to collate them.

So far through contributions on TC we have:

All dates are likely the subject of debate! They may represent the year the drink appeared or when a book was published.

Anyone got any more published 'forgotten' tiki bar recipes?

If you can add another I'll edit the above list to put them in chronological order ~ yes I am thinking of mixing through them all!
