I bought a number of pens, and these were the ones that worked. The white is applied first, because as it dries any ink under it will show through. Black is applied next (with both the thick pen and the Micron 005), then the light red, and then the dark red.
Any Sharpie will do in the place of the black Identi Pen]. The ink from the IP dries to a glossier finish than the ink from the 005, giving the faceless zombies' empty eye sockets a creepier look.
This is the Zombie, a classic tiki cocktail created by Don the Beachcomber in 1934 at his restaurant Don the Beachcomber in Hollywood, California. The Zombie was the first famous tiki drink. It was a whirlwind of flavors and rum, containing four ounces of rum, one ounce of which was 151 proof! Its description merely said "Limit 2 per customer". It was also a tightly guarded secret. Even most of the Donn Beach's staff didn't know exactly went into the drink. Donn Beach would pre-mix particular ingredients together and label them vaguely. Because of its fame and lethality, there were many imitators, but most weren't even close.
In 1994, the intrepid tiki historian Jeff "Beachbum" Berry set out to track down the original recipe. It took him over ten years to eventually meet Jennifer Santiago, the daughter of Dick Santiago who worked for Donn Beach. Jennifer had unveiled an old recipe notebook from her father's bartending days. This did contain the original recipe, but it was partially encoded, calling for "Don's Mix" which was grapefruit juice and "Spices #4". More sleuthing ensued and Beachbum Berry eventually unlocked the last piece of the Zombie puzzle, "Spices #4" was cinnamon syrup. Finally over 70 years later, the "big bang" of the tiki craze had been unlocked.
The recipe is actually a maximalist version of the Planter's Punch. Every ingredient has been replaced with an amped up version. Making a zombie at home will take your own sleuthing to track down all ten liquid ingredients, but it's so worth it.
1.5 oz aged Jamaican rum
1.5 oz white cuban-style rum
1 oz overproof 151 demerara rum (Hamilton 151 is best here)
0.75 oz fresh lime juice
0.5 oz Falernum
1 tsp grenadine
1 dash Angostura bitters
1 dash absinthe or Herbsaint
0.5 oz Don's Mix (2 parts grapefruit juice, 1 part homemade cinnamon syrup)
Combine everthing into a shaker tin. Double-check to make sure you didn't forget anything (seriously). Add ice and shake vigorously until arctic cold. Strain into a chilled crushed ice-filled collins glass. Garnish with a sprig of mint.

Event - MCM Manchester
Saturday 4th April. A group of people dressed as zombies perform a flashmob around Liverpool city center. At 1pm they set off from St Georges Hall and headed through the streets of Liverpool via Liverpool One. Along the way shoppers and passers by laughed and looked confused as the zombies meandered around. At one point they attacked the window of Cafe Nero and tried to get into John Lewis's only to be turned away by security.

A company called Zed Events use the Mall for Airsoft and Zombie events. They have people made up like zombies (very realistically!) and you fight your way through the old abandoned Mall :)
