Not tentative. I'm in. Yes, this is original. It has no name. It's a simple, spiced Navy Grog that I have been working on, an attempt to recreate the Trader Vic's Navy Grog without the Vic's Mix or the way-too-hard-to-get Pimento liqueur. I once made it with molasses, but I have moved on from that. For the time being, call it "Groggy Grog."

Grog Tasting Update!
We've got 4 entries confirmed. Just in case theres any late ponies added to this race, I've planned for 5-6 contestants, so no worries, for those of you that are still perfecting your grogs, just let me know sometime Friday afternoon at the Oasis!
Cheers!

My grog will be an interesting version of the Navy Grog recipe- not so wild afterall.

My hat goes off to all the participating Mixologists, all entries were most excellent!
An interesting array or exotic ingredients from Hibiscus to cinnamon syrup, made for a colorful and delectable variety or flavors and accents from bitter, spicy, to tart to sweet. It was an intoxicating in more ways than one.
Martiki and Z, thank you for making this happen and allowing this overly obsessive organizational freak be a part of this great event for one more year! It was so much fun, you know it's a success when the pavement outside of your room is so sticky your flip flops stick for the next 2 days.
Congratulations Drunken Hat! ((( bowing down ))) Damn, I really thought I had a ringer with the Trader Vic's grog. I think it was the damn 1/2 mixture of real lemons and lemon concentrate that did my grog in. Foiled again!
Monkeyman, I thought you were a fabulous bouncer, the Magic 8 Ball wouldn't have been able to do a better job.
Everyone: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
