Tiki recipes: How to make the classic Navy Grog, a famous tiki cocktail drink. Here are three different Navy Grog recipes that you can try at home today!

Another classic vintage tiki cocktail drink.  One of the triads of tiki cocktails, along with the Mai Tai and Zombie. Rummer has it that it was Frank Sinatra's favorite drink when visiting a certain tiki bar in California. Like the Zombie Cocktail, this is one stiff drink, and usually had a limit of 2 on the tiki bar menus.

At the core the drink calls for 3 rums, lime juice, grapefruit juice and honey. From there it has a few variations. Some add passion fruit, others guava, some cinnamon and even allspice syrup can be added to make the navy grog.

This drink is served very cold, the shaved ice was pressed into a cone, the straw inserted into the center, which makes a volcano type shape, a very iconic visual drink.

ORIGINS:

This one is gain shrouded in a bit of tiki mystery. Legend has it that the original formula is still a secret. Both Trader Vic and Don the Beachcomber have it in their books, but Don the Beachcomber is the true founder of the drink around 1941. But the seeds of the drink date back much, much farther than Don Beach.

The Royal Navy would mix rum, water and fruit aboard there ships around 1756. Having to be stored for a long time, the water would go a bit bad, think stale and slime. They would mix cinnamon, rum, lemon juice with the water to make it more pleasant tasting, and that is the true origin of the navy grog cocktail.

The addition of the rum would also help the water keep longer, and the citrus fruits added vitamin C to help fight off scurvy and other diseases the where common among sea folk at the time.

Also, there is a old Caribbean recipe that used light rum, water, grapefruit juice, orange juice, pineapple juice, cinnamon and honey, and this adds a bit to the historical story.

By: Kimo Cattlett

By far, one of the super stars of the tiki bar.

No other cocktail drink says tiki quit like the legendary Mai Tai.

ORIGINS OF THE MAI TAI:

Mai Tai means, or is translated as meaning "Great, The Best!" That was the first words uttered during the tasting of the start of the Mai Tai experiment. 

There is a great debate over who invented the Mai Tai. Credit usually goes to the famous Victor Bergeron, aka "Trader Vic." Another famous tiki legend  "Don the Beachcomber"or Don Beach, also claims credit.  Trader Vic said that if anybody says they invented the Mai Tai, then they are a dirty lier.  

The original recipe, severed at Trader Vic's restarant, was kept top secret.  Ingredients were pre-mixed, so even the bartenders did not fully know what was in it. This still happens in todays pure blooded tiki bars. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Original Mia Tia did not have all the juices that todays restaurants serve. The only fresh juice in the original Trader Vic's recipe was lime.   Todays pubs serve the Mai Tia with a lot of pineapple juice, which the original Mai Mai never had.
