Yes I am Insane!!! It is just a dab for blood on top of the floater. Sorry I should have been more instructive.

That's what I do. Guess.. Ok it is like you are making a regular zombie but add the extras like Midori for instance, for effect. The drink should turn out green and you float the mango with a drop of grenadine, again for effect. And yes I am still insane!!!!!

Last time I checked, a proper Zombie is supposed to have a bit of grenadine. Now as to some of the other ingredients..... omigod ......

My response was based not on the Zombie aspect of the drink, but the rotten. Traditionally when ordering a drink the term rotten refers to the leaving out of any ingredient which is measured in dashes. The Rotten Manhattan made famous at the Uptown Lowdown Club in NYC in the late 50s was just a regular Manhattan without the dash of orange bitters. (Sounds innocent enough yet it was quite the controversy among the idle rich and quip addicted writers. It was the Rotten Manhattan of which Truman Capote famously said "That's not a Manhattan, that's just rye and sweet vermouth stirred on the rocks until well chilled then strained into a stemmed glass and garnished with a maraschino cherry.")

"Ok it is like you are making a regular zombie but add the extras like Midori for instance, for effect. The drink should turn out green and you float the mango with a drop of grenadine, again for effect."

So you're saying when I go into my local bar I should ask for a Rotten Zombie but since the bars don't really know about it yet they're going to definitely ask what it is? So the recipe is start with a Zombie then add the other ingredients?

If I try one I'll let you know what I think. Also, do I smell Birthday cake?
