The Zombie is a Damn Strong Rum Punch.

Who was the Zombie Created by?
The Zombie was "created" by Don the Beachcomber in 1934.
The evidence for Don the Beachcomber being the inventor of the Zombie is purely down to Don the Beachcomber saying he did. Don claims to have invented the Zombie in 1934, yet Patrick Gavin Duffy published a recipe in 1934. Surely for a recipe to be published, by someone other than the creator, in the year it was invented, is extremely unusual.
Original Recipe
There are two main contenders for the original recipe. One comes from a 1950s barbecue manual by a friend of Don the Beachcomber which claimed to have received the recipe from Don himself. The other recipe is from a book by Don's late wife.
