Description: A tiki classic that blends three different rum styles with two citrus juices and honey for real complexity.

Cultural Background: Created by Don the Beachcomber, inspired loosely by the British Royal Navy's historical rum ration ("grog").

Tips: Using three genuinely different rum styles (light, dark, Demerara) is what gives this drink its depth — don't substitute one rum for all three.

Variations: Fresh honey syrup, made to order, noticeably improves the drink over bottled versions.

Serving Suggestion: Serve over crushed ice as a rich, tiki-bar showpiece.
