Navy Grog
Navy Grog is a deeply rich Tiki drink thats all about the Rum. The other ingredients are really just there to compliment the sizeable slug of this fabulous caribbean spirit.

0.75 shots of Lime Juice
0.75 shots of Grapefruit Juice
0.5 Runny Honey
Top up with Soda Water
Shake
Add the Rum and Honey to the mixing tin, stir until the Honey dissolves, add the other ingredients and lots of ice, shake well, strain over ice and top up with a hint of soda.
