Grog
From episode 67 of 5 Minutes of Rum, the Grog is similar to what would be consumed by the British Royal Navy as part of their rum ration: rum with a bit of sugar and lime mixed in.

Chief Kopi Kopi
I'm out at the hockey game tonight drinking a stadium beer instead of this Lapu Lapu inspired cocktail named after one of my favorite current Los Angeles Kings players, Anze Kopitar. I created this cocktail leading up the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs when the Kings won their first Stanley Cup. Because of superstition and because the Kings won the first playoff game that year when I was sipping one of these, I ended up sipping a lot of these for ~2 months. You can find the recipe in episode 48 of this here show. The Lil' Waha Nui mug was designed by Joe Vitale and produced by Tiki Farm.
The Rum Drum
The Rum Drum was my cocktail entry in the 2012 "Taboo" event crawl in Palm Springs. It was a fun one-off fall event, a precursor to what is now Mod Palm Springs. This very potent potable took first place in the cocktail competition, no doubt by knocking out the judges. Marquesan Drum mug from Trader Vic's, late 2016.
