I believe that I have very closely reproduced Trader Vic's Navy Grog without using the Trader Vic's Navy Grog Mix, which much like the commercially available Mai Tai mix is nothing like the restaurant Mai Tai. I had to make my own syrup to do it, but this works very well and tastes a whole lot like a Navy Grog at Trader Vic's. So this recipe goes on my own personal bar menu along with the Cannibal, Suffering Bastard and the Purple Jade. A hint: The Ancient Mariner in the Grog Log is pretty close but this recipe uses Navy rums instead and the syrup (but a larger amount) in place of the Pimento Liqueur.
