Although I really don't drink too much these days I've been really fond of resurrecting old cocktails for some time now. It kind of started out when I found a pre-prohibition cocktail book at a used bookstore. Niow for some reason I have grown quite fond of making Tiki drinks. Finding and recreating the original recipes can be remarkably challenging. Here is the recipe for a Navy Grog. Supposedly it's the original Don the Beachcomber version. I can't confirm that but I can say it's both tasty and wickedly powerful!

1 ounce Don Q Cristal light Puerto Rican rum
1 ounce Coruba dark Jamaican rum
1 ounce Lemon Hart Demerara 80 proof rum
¾ ounce fresh lime juice
¾ ounce fresh grapefruit juice
¾ ounce club soda
1 ounce honey syrup
Place all ingredients into shaker, add ice, shake and strain into double old-fashioned glass. Add ice cone. Serves one.

Honey Syrup
1-to-1 ratio of honey to hot water. Stir to blend, then let cool.

Ice Cone
Pack Pilsner glass with crushed ice and straw and freeze.
