Trader Vic's Grog Concentrate-Aye or Nay? - Tiki Drinks and Food

Yep, I always thought the Grog concentrate tasted like Coca Cola syrup, with allspice mixed in. On a side note, I was telling Jon, the Emeryville bar manager, about us gushing over the grog mix on TC, and he was kind enough to give me a bottle (plus a bottle of the Mai Tai mix - woot!) I noticed a couple changes in their packaging... New bottle is on the left, mail-order bottle on the right. Notice the absence of the "For Professional Use Only" logo on the new bottle, plus the more consumer-friendly, name change: This suggests to me that they are planning on selling this to the public for good. -Trad'r Bill
