Home made falernum tends to be way too strong for vintage recipes. POssibly the grenadine too, for the same reason. I suggest making it with stuff from the store, Velvet Falernum. Hamilton or Lemon Hart 151. I have the Mai-Kai's recipe and it's virtually the same as the DtB Zombie Punch Jeff published, Mariano just dialed back the booze. So that's show's the solidity of Jeff's recipe. The drink is fairly subtle. Also, the #4 isn't likely grapefruit and cinnamon syrup. The Mai-Kai has never used cinnamon syrup excpet when making special outside recipes recently. But it is in the flavor profile.
