I enjoyed the '5 minutes of rum' podcast & Hurricane Hayward's great posts. Mahalo CincyTikiCraig for bring attention to that old thread, I am slowly diluting some LH151 diluting to LH80 :)

I have now tried all but two of the recipes requiring regular 80 proof demerara rum from the Tiki+ app (damn you Beachbums Own & Cuba Kula with your Licor43 or Bacardi 151 respectively!). Im working my way through the recipes requiring LH151 too...

Since my last post on this thread (3 weeks ago), ED5 has found a way back on to my bar. In the below recipe I think the ED5 is better than my mainstay of ED8. All demerara fans, try it one way & then the other, see what you think!

Trader Vics Navy Grog:

1 shot each PR rum, Jamaican rum, Demerara rum, lemon juice, white grapefruit juice, demerara sugar syrup & soda water. 1/4 shot each lime & 'TV Navy Grog' mix.

NB: There are old posts on TC about 'TV Navy Grog Mix' ~ I tried some 'neat', not quite pimento dram but that's what I used in this drink. Id seen a couple of TV Navy Grog recipes on the net, I got this one from the kind barstaff in TVs London :)
