What do you think of my experimental recipe?

This is a poor man's offshoot of the Zombie cocktail (ironically, I could not get my hands on any Triple Sec, who'da thunk?)

I have what I used in parentheses.

1 oz Light rum (Bacardi Silver)

1 oz Dark rum (Bacardi Gold)

1/2 oz Grenadine (Rose's Grenadine)

1/2 oz Triple Sec (I used diet Pepsi and lemon juice - yeah I know)

1 oz Brandy (E&J Brandy)

2 oz lime juice (I used 1 oz conc. lemon juice)

2 oz sour mix (I used 1/2 oz conc. lemon juice mixed with a couple tblsp of Splenda)

Mix them in shaker with ice and then top with splash of rum (Hmm, maybe I should have done that, I mixed them and put a splash of diet pepsi and brandy on top).

It is bittersweet, but I like it. Anyone give it a try? How about tips to improve it? I'm all ears.

Oh, I'm thinking of calling it "Hell on Earth" (not sure if that is taken).

Update:

Hey, I'm diabetic. And it is for mood elevation, I'm grading finals which can be quite depressing. :(

Update 2:

But, you are right, it was too yucky. My next mix was a poor man's Sidecar which was much better.

    I think it is dumb to drink such strong cocktails. The purpose of cocktails is to enhance mood and socializing. This recipe is both too strong and too yucky. Splenda? Bleah!
