Trader Vic’s Navy Grog, per Beachbum Berry's Grog Blog:
http://blog.beachbumberry.com/2007/06/26/no-jury-in-the-world-would-convict-him/

• 3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
• 1/2 ounce grapefruit juice
• 3/4 ounce allspice syrup
• 1 ounce Light Puerto Rican Rum
• 1 ounce Gold Jamaican rum
• 1 ounce Demerara rum

Put ingredients into cocktail shaker and shake well with lots of crushed ice. Pour into a double old-fashioned glass.

Allspice Syrup: Grind enough whole dried allspice berries to make 6 level tablespoons. Place the ground allspice in a saucepan with 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water. Bring it all to a boil, then cover and simmer for two minutes. Remove the saucepan from heat and — keeping it covered — let steep for two to three hours, then strain into a bottle and refrigerate.

NOTE: I added another ounce of rum to the recipe since the Bum states in his blog "ours calls for slightly less rum, just in case your liquor cabinet is near your gun cabinet." Plus Navy Grogs are supposed to have 3 ounces of rum in my book. Arr.
