Hi Friends! Based on some posts here (linked below), Trader Sam’s likely uses POG juice for their “Tropical juices” and I’ve made some Falernum myself. I imagine the cinnamon simply comes from syrup. I was hoping some of the more experienced tiki connoisseurs here could give me a hand with the recipe. Thanks!

While I enjoy reverse-engineering Sam's drinks, their zombie to me is my least favorite rendition of the classic. I would personally abandon ship and stick with the Aku Aku Zombie. |

I thought their Zombie was pretty good! Not up there with the classic, but very tasty. I'd start with the recipe of something like the Aku Zombie & tinker from there. As I recall Sam's was very cinnamon-forward. That would be cinnamon syrup, yeah. The ones I'd really like to see recreated are the Uh Oah & Nautilus. Those were very good. Didn't Hurricane say he was trying to figure those out at one point? |

Yep, Hayward did and I think it's pretty spot on - reliable for sure. *A tribute to UH OA! by The Atomic Grog 2 ounces silver Puerto Rican rum Pulse blend with 2 cups of crushed ice for no more than 10 seconds. (Note: Pulse blend means to flip the blender switch on and off, rather than holding it down continuously; we don’t want a slushy drink.) Pour unstrained into an Uh Oa! bowl, or other large Tiki bowl or mug (around 12-ounce capacity) and fill with more crushed ice. Add powdered cinnamon to the bowl’s appropriate receptacles or just keep in small containers nearby. Garnish with maraschino cherries and half of a squeezed lime wedge. Insert 2-3 sugar cubes into the wedge. When serving, douse with 151 rum and light. Sprinkle pinches of cinnamon over the flame to conjure up the Tiki gods.* |

Trader Sam's uses B.G. Reynolds (Formerly Trader Tiki Syrups), if you are going for the exact ingredients. |
