The (Even further) Simplified Zombie - Tiki Drinks and Food

A regular Planters Punch tweaked to your preferred sweetness is nice & easy going (5 ingredients if you include bitters & soda as ingredients). The 151 Swizzle can pack a kick & complexity for 5 ingredients (the Mai Kai version is good too). There is a Beachbum Berry recipe that is LH151, lime & honey - can anyone help out with that & what it is called? The Simplified Zombie is 5 ingredients (lime, grapefruit, cinnamon, 2 rums) which to my mind is most too simplified, IMO it lacked something 'Zombie like' so I add bitters & Pernod when I make it. Having said that, if you can make a more simplified version work let us know! I think the thing with making Zombies (& tiki in general) is that you are trying master mixing lots of ingredients together - that you can 'pull it off' cohesively is something to be pleased with yourself for.
