Trader Vic's 1944 recipe, from Life magazine, is listed in the roll of recipes in the first post, sourced to Wikipedia. I noticed Martiki posted this recipe in another Zombie thread, back in 2003, but I'll include it here.

The recipe is on page 82 of Life, Sept. 4, 1944 issue. (The article about Trader Vic's begins on page 79, and Google Books has it, here.)

"1 oz. orange-lime juice"? What is this enigmatic ingredient from the days of yore?
After a bit of searching, I believe this may refer to the rangpur lime, sometimes called a mandarin-lime, in the U.S. Apparently quite tart, very seedy, and used in place of limes in cocktails, especially with gin.


"The rum's the thing..."
