After a lot of experimenting, I found a good use of the sweet lime (mosambi): a modified Navy Grog.

I used Don the Beachcomber's recipe with the following modifications:

1 ounce white rum (El Dorado 3 year)
1 ounce demerara rum (El Dorado 5 year)
1 ounce dark rum (Coruba)
3/4 ounce lime juice
3/4 ounce white grapefruit
added - 3/4 ounce sweet lime juice
1 ounce honey syrup

Since this makes a slightly weaker drink than the original I left out the club soda entirely.

Sweet lime has a delicate flavor which worked nicely with the grapefruit, lime, and rums. It is sweet but not cloyingly so the drink was still nicely balanced and the rum flavors still dominate.

Now, I just need a name. Mosambi Grog? Not quite exotic enough - open to suggestions.
