One slight tweek I made that was an improvement this past weekend was using Don Q 151 instead of the Lemon Hart that the recipe calls for. Now, there are Zombies that I've had outside of my own home that I thoroughly enjoyed, some seem to stick to the original while others are a variation. Some that I have enjoyed are the ones at Bootlegger in Palm Springs, as well as the Zombie served at Tonga Hut in No. Hollywood. Mai Kai's Zombie is also amazing. I'm thinking of adding a 1/4 or 1/2 ounce of Orgeat to see what happens. Anybody got any good tweeking ideas to share. I'm looking for a slightly mellow/sweeter flavor than what the original has.
