A very long time in the works, the Yeoman's Grog tribute recipe finally makes its way online:

Among the many reasons it took so long to post: I was waiting to finish my review of Beachbum Berry’s Navy Grog Ice Cone Kit, which features a head-to-head review of the mold vs. the old pilsner glass method (and the Yeoman's Grog facing off against Trader Vic's Navy Grog [photo above]).

Worth noting: We find Don's Spices #2 again making an appearance in the Yeoman's Grog, perhaps the best combination of the Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic's versions of the classic. And a big mahalo to Quince_at_Dannys, who actually came up with the recipe and spurred my further research into Don's Spices #2. Two more recipes are coming soon that also feature this sweeter and richer alternative to straight allspice dram.
