back for a re-make, 10Ml Grenadine this time, 18ML lime, floated with 62% ABV bourbon or rye... really good flavor opens up to sweeter complexity below !

is a great tiki drink on its own right, that being said i say the zombie is better, whats not better with 30 ml pineaple anyways ? :P After blending i added 15ml grenadine to mine (mines is high juice) and squeezed the rest of the lime to total lime 22.5ml, a even better cocktail to my taste , if im ever craving a zombie without pineapple id revisit this comment xD

Remade with amaro, used smith and cross and there wasnt any trace of amaro, if i used rumfire 45ml there wudnt be a trace of anything. boosted funk after mixing with LROK from hampden estate collection. I insist 45ml lime is the way to go here to balance the 30ml of maple and falerum. ( i made with 30, tasted and then added another 15ml of lime and it was so much better)

swap 15ml Syrup for 20 ML maple syrup for more flavor and same lv of sweetness

correction had AI do glucose/sucralose analysis is about 18-20% more sweet at 20ML to feel free to replace 1:1

Made with Woodsford reserve, very nice indeed, bourbon has a big impact on this cocktail, I pressed my mint with the bourbon before sharking, only makes sense ...

Pretty unique with the coffee, complex profile, i skipped them white rum and used a demerara rum also instead. Experimented with some falernum and next remake id use 10 ml falernum rather then the Simple syrup. 10/10

I ruined this by using rumfire, although i prefer the outcome is completely dominates RHUM JM. did i mention i liked it more with rumfire ? :D ... next time id use agricole

best rum under $20 in my humble opinion, forget bacardi or other unaged rums this stuff will simply drastically change a cocktail that calls for white rum. dont get me wrong i still like funky jamaican whites but those can overpower drinks and thus use is more risky in most recipes ( like hampden rumfire)

this cocktail wont blow you away, but if you want a much better version where the rum actually adds something simply use white agricole ! i used rhum clement white, might rival ... and -

Very good, however i think this could def. be enhanced by more lime and agave to make it more true to its name. Next time 20ml lime and 10ml agave for me.
