High levels of effort, but has a great pay off. Tops.

Getting a good mix of rums is essential for this but hit the sweet spot and it really sings (as will you - heady stuff!)

What's recommended for the "overproof aged rum?"

I'm presently using Hampden Estate Overproof Rum. I've added a link above.

我也被这杯酒搞糊涂了 不同的水果香料 加上大量的朗姆混合酒 因为成本的问题 我总是无法把风味统一到一起 我想这应该是一种果味浓郁的料理

I'm confounded by the Zombie - I like tiki drinks, I like boozy drinks, I like all of the ingredients separately, but I really dislike how they come together in this cocktail. I've tried this recipe with pineapple juice, the original with cinnamon syrup, and either way I ended up with possibly the worst cocktail I've ever had. And that's compounded by this cocktail being quite the production to make. I feel like I'm missing something, or maybe the Zombie just doesn't work for my palate.

This is my interpretation of the Codex recipe: 37.5ml Appleton Signature Blend, 37.5ml Ron del Barrilito 3-star rum, 22.5ml Hamilton Demerara 151 Overproof rum, 10ml Grapefruit juice, 5ml Cinnamon syrup, 22.5ml Lime juice, 15ml Tailor Velvet Falernum, 2.5ml Grenadine, 2 dash Absinthe, 2 drops Saline solution.

Made this again and it was great. However, we did use the Difford Smart Jigger for the measurements and it was so easy. I am in the States and paid for the postage to get these, and it was worth every penny. These jiggers are unbelievable.

You mention cinnamon spice in the review notes - where does that come from? I note that cinnamon syrup is common in other zombie recipes.

Cinnamon notes come from both the falernum and, to a degree, the rums.
