#67: Captain's Grog


Anything with Grog in the title is probably going to be a good time, and Captain's Grog is no exception.  After consuming the Flaming Coffee Grog, this drink was a nice cool-down, and an appropriate chaser after another "Grog" drink.  Also, like watching the Flaming Coffee Grog being mixed, this one is quite the show simply due to the billion ingredients that go in.  See below for the laundry list.



  • 0.5 oz fresh lime juice
  • 0.5 oz grapefruit juice
  • 0.5 oz maple syrup
  • 0.5 oz falernum
  • 0.5 oz orane curacao
  • 1 oz soda water
  • 3 drops vanilla extract
  • 3 drops almond extract
  • 0.75 oz Myers rum
  • 0.5 oz light Puerto Rican rum
  • 0.5 oz  dark Puerto Rican rum



  • Co-Captain Mike McKee joins me again this week, once again regretting not starting a Grog Log of his own, with how many visits he's made.  However, part of the joy of not being constrained to the list is sampling the specials that the bartenders create at the Hut.  Ian, a tiki artisan, put together his own special treat for Mike, a passion-fruit based Rye Whiskey drink.  You can see in the photos, it has an appealing presentation as well as a stunning flavor.
