History

This enjoyable Navy rum and honey sour differs from the famous Tiki cocktail, Navy Grog.

The origins of this Grog trace back to the British Navy and Admiral Edward "Old Grog" Vernon. In 1740, Order No. 349 instructed captains to dilute the daily ration of high-proof Navy rum with water, and to make lime juice and sugar available whenever possible.
