Notes
Substitutes:
- Light Rum: When I've run out of light rum, I've used a white or coconut-flavored rum for a tropical twist.
- Dark Rum: You can substitute with spiced rum for a more robust flavor.
- Demerara Rum: Any aged rum can work in its place if unavailable. I've tried it with a quality rhum agricole, and the results were delightful.
- Honey Mix: Simple syrup can replace the honey mix, but it'll alter the drink's flavor profile.
Making a Pitcher of Navy Grog:
- To serve 8 people, multiply all the ingredients by 8.
- Combine all the ingredients in a large pitcher.
- Stir well, and when ready to serve, pour into individual glasses, then fill them with crushed ice and garnish.
Making it Non-Alcoholic:
- Instead of the rums, use non-alcoholic versions available in the market. They give a similar taste without the alcohol.
- Follow the main instructions, replacing the alcoholic ingredients with non-alcoholic substitutes.
