Cheers Columbus. Since nobody will play here's a drink for you anyway from webtender.com.
Zombie #3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ingredients:
1 1/2 oz Gold rum
3 tsp Lime juice
1 tblsp Jamaican Rum
1 tblsp White rum
1 tblsp Pineapple juice
1 tblsp Papaya juice
1 1/2 tsp Sugar syrup
1 tsp 151 proof rum
1 Pineapple stick
Powdered sugar
Mixing instructions:
Shake all ingedients over ice, except the high-proof rum, the pineapple stick and the sugar. Strain and add ice. Garnish with pineapple and a cherry. Float the high-proof rum at top and sprinkle a litter sugar over it.
Creator/contributor's comments:
A Zombie should be made with rums of various strengths, i.e. 90 and 86 proof. You may use a little apricot brandy in addition to the fruit juice. Other garnish, like mint sprigs can also be used.

Oh! That is a good one!
I've actually been giving this some thought, and even a little google research. What I figured out is that, even though Curaçao was invented using Valencia oranges from Spain (transplanted to the island of Curaçao), it was not invented until the 19th Century.
Still, given that Columbus had plenty of rum, probably a little sugar, and some scurvy-fighting limes on board with him, he could have mocked up the first Daiquiri!
Patrick Gavin Duffy's Official Mixer's Manual gives this as its basic Daiquiri recipe:
1 1/2 jigger rum
juice of 1/2 lime
1 tsp sugar
shaken with ice and served up in a cocktail glass.
Of course, Chris didn't have any ice.

Here in soggy Portland, it looks like we may be gearing up for as cold and wet an October 12 as the day of the famous Columbus Day Storm of 1962 (aka "The Big Blow").
So something alone the lines of Trader Vic's Black Stripe (from my 1948 edition of Bartender's Guide) may be my choice:
2 cherries
1 tsp honey
1 oz rum
2 cloves
1 stick cinnamon
hot water
1 piece lemon peel
Crush cherries in the bottom of a glass; add honey and hot water and mix; ad rum and spices; serve with lemon peel.
