S Sunny&Rummy Member Melbourne, FL Joined: Jun 13, 2013 Posts: 601	S Sunny&Rummy Posted posted on Fri, Oct 18, 2013 8:11 PM Tonga Room Zombie. Serviceable but not stellar. Doesn't call for LH151, Cruzan 151 will do. Probaably one of the main reasons this Zombie is alright but no great shakes. Of course, if I was served this drink at a local joint I would be thrilled, but that is merely because the quality bar has been set so low. Jim's Special -- Tiki Ti drink via Remixed. Whoah! Really drinkable and nicely balanced for the 4.5 oz of spirits in this one (not counting curacao). Offhand I can't think of another cocktail that pairs dark rum and tequila, but it certainly works in this drink. [ Edited by: Sunny&Rummy 2013-10-18 20:12 ]

A AdOrAdam Member Wolverhampton, UK Joined: Jun 16, 2013 Posts: 630	A AdOrAdam Posted posted on Sat, Oct 19, 2013 3:22 PM I saw a Pussers tasting event advertised & thought 'I do like Pussers, I'll have me some of that...'. Here's my home version: The more drinks with Coco Lopez I drink the more appreciate it as an ingredient. If you like Pussers, the Painkiller is a good drink - the cinnamon / nutmeg come across nicely. Pussers 15 year really is the good stuff IMO, it's on my list to buy a proper bottle but I'm enjoying these reasonably priced miniatures til I do an online order. As I'm nearing the bottom of my Pussers Blue label, I think I'll miss it when its gone. The questions is do I go for a normal bottle of blue label or one of their decanters? A decanter is 3 or 4 times the price of a bottle of Pussers. I have a Pussers hip flask & a miniture decanter which I could sell to lessen the shock of the cost... More rum or a cool decanter? http://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/P-11053.aspx http://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/P-14868.aspx http://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/P-13495.aspx Or I could buy a used decanter from eBay? Decisions, decisions :) [ Edited by: AdOrAdam 2013-10-19 15:24 ]

The recipe calls for a dark 151 Jamaican rum that I sub'd for with the moderately overproof Smith&Cross, and I think it works pretty well.

We haven't been able to get the 95.5 here for years, I miss it. Neither - its the 109 proof (54.5%). That's the common one in the UK. Seeing as my blue label is nearly 57% (at 54.5%) I usually use a 1/2 to a measure less than a recipe calls for, it still has pep. My opinion matters little but: I think Pussers should cut the different proofs of their basic stuff (I know of 4 now) & just produce one 'navy strength' one (114 proof aka 57% & flammable). Pussers is so distinctive & stinky (in a good way) ~ it's not like customers will say 'nah, its too strong now' (or be unable to work out fractions to use an amount they prefer). Probably people (like yourself Sunny&Rummy) would actually like to get their hands on a 'navy strength' version - variety is a good thing but that would be in keeping with the history of navy rum. However, the 15 year could stay 80 proof / 40% ~ its officers rum :)
S Sunny&Rummy Member Melbourne, FL Joined: Jun 13, 2013 Posts: 601	S Sunny&Rummy Posted posted on Sun, Oct 20, 2013 5:09 PM Yeah, the worldwide gamut of the Pusser's portfolio and the limited availability of so many of their expressions is frustrating. I am a big fan of the 3 versions I have tried. Drinking a Jet Pilot now, and might need to mix up another.

From the personal notebook of Dick Santiago which, iirc, is the same notebok where Jeff resurrected the '34 Zombie from. Damn, that's a notebook!
