Check out the ice-cone:

Drink 29: Navy Grog

Ingredients I used:

Fresh lime juice
White grapefruit juice (bottled - 100% grapefruit juice)
Soda water (supermarket brand)
Honey Mix (2:1 honey to water)
Flor De Cana 4 year - Light Rum
El Dorado 12 Year Old Rum (Demerara)
Appleton Extra - Jamaican Rum

Nice Drink. Refreshing, adequately complex, and deliciously tart. The combination of rum works together beautifully to create a strong and flavorful base for the drink, while the grapefruit-lime-honey mix creates a harmonious and enduring flavor throughout the swallow.

I don't have too much to add. It's a very nice drink that captures the quintessential grapefruit-honey tiki style of drink perfectly. At the same time, it doesn't necessarily transcend the template either.

My personal rating: ***1/2 (3.5) out of ***** (5)
