You say there's no citrus juice in the recipe, but in the picture you provide it states "1/4 ounce white grapefruit juice." Arriano, you're absolutely right! There is that small amount of grapefruit juice. I overlooked it because i often don't think of grapefruit as citrus. But going by the other ingredients in that drink, I would expect to see at least a half oz of lime of lemon as well to balance the spirit, juices and syrup, which wasn't there and the absence did make the drink taste really unbalanced. (In Martin Cate's zombie there's also this very tiny measure of grapefruit juice but that also has a half oz of lime).
