Trader Vic's Answer to the Zombie was Vermouth

No sugar coating this one, but I did not like this drink. Trader Vic's answer to the Zombie was a tropical concoction of juices, syrups, rums, chocolate, and vermouth. While chocolate and red wine might be a winning combination, the addition of grenadine and citrus makes this an unusual drink to say the very least. It's not bad enough to send back, but not worth ordering again.
