The flavor did not dominate or bitter the drink. And the more I drank and as the ice cone gave some dilution, the more I really enjoyed it and got excited about playing around with different rums in the future like I do with Mai Tai's. I used the standard Don recipe with honey mix and soda water using Cruzan, V/X, and ED 12 as my white, dark and demerara. Not to throw this topic way off course, but in reading the various threads about Navy Grogs on TC it seems most people prefer the TV version with allspice instead of honey, with no soda water and only two rums. Or some amalgamation of the two (just adding allspice to the DtB recipe?). Yet the reviews on Grogalizer all seem to be for the Don recipe and are overwhelmingly positive. So what makes the best Navy Grog? Ok, that's a total derailment.
