Here's some Zombie updates. Originally I said this about the Zombie at Frankie's... "This was NOT a classic Don's-style Zombie..." UPDATE - Go when Mike is mixing. He makes it classic style. :) And originally I said this about the Zombie at Forbidden Island... "Yes this had 3 shots of rum, including the 151 (pretty sure it was LH) but it had a more sour taste which masked the stiffness... I wouldn't say this was a classic Don's-style Zombie but it was a VERY good cocktail." UPDATE - I was at FI this week and ordered a Zombie thinking the one I had last year might have been an anomaly. What I got however was exactly the same tasting drink. When I asked Suzanne about it, she said their house Zombie is based on the tarter 1950's recipe which she prefers. She then mixed me the 1930's version. Tasting that, I would say it ranks with the best I've reviewed here so far. Alternating sips between the two drinks however, I decided I liked the 1950's version better. :) Thanks Suzanne !! And oh yeah, the Puka Bar is now the SandBar Lounge. I haven't been in there yet, but I assume it's been de-Tikified. :( [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2011-06-12 06:24 ] |
