Review:
Not to be confused with the famous Tiki cocktail, Navy Grog, this Navy rum and honey sour is very enjoyable.

Also great served hot. Top with boiling water and garnish with a cinnamon stick.

This Grog traces its origin back to the British Navy and Admiral Edward "Old Grog" Vernon's 1740 Order to Captains No.349 instructing that the daily ration of high-proof Navy rum was diluted with water and that where possible lime juice and sugar was made available.
Alcohol content:
- 1.4 standard drinks
- 17.68% alc./vol. (35.36° proof)
- 20 grams of pure alcohol
