Navy Grog

Three rums, one warning

Glass Highball
Method Shaken
Garnish lime wheel and mint sprig

A Don the Beachcomber masterpiece: three rums — aged, dark, and Demerara — layered with lime, grapefruit, and honey, then lengthened with soda. Spicy, complex, and deceptively strong; the original cocktail-as-weapon of tiki lore.

Ingredients

  • 1 oz Aged Rum
  • 1 oz Dark Rum
  • 1 oz Demerara Rum
  • 3/4 oz Fresh Lime Juice
  • 3/4 oz Fresh Grapefruit Juice
  • 1/2 oz Honey Syrup
  • 1 oz Soda Water

Method

Shake the three rums, lime juice, grapefruit juice, and honey syrup with ice. Strain into a highball over fresh ice. Top with soda water. Garnish with a lime wheel and mint sprig.
