A pre-Grog Log book I have in my collection is The Tropical Bar Book, by Charles Schumann, published in English in 1989 (original German, in 1986). Out of print book, worth adding to your bar library, and can be had cheaply on Amazon. Informative and well illustrated, beyond simply the recipes, and interspersed with related literary selections by Hemingway, Graham Greene, Malcolm Lowry, et al.
There are several hot punch and grog recipes, but a good, simple one that I enjoy in cold weather, is...

Mexican Coffee
1-1/2 oz. gold tequila
3/4 oz. Kahlua
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 cup hot coffee or espresso
Top with whipped cream.

Works well, subbing rum for tequila, too.
