If you want to truly mimic a grog from the 1700s, use a pot still unaged rum or a black pot still rum. (And skip the ice. And the clean glass. And maybe add some brackish water. Maybe not.) If you're looking for a nineteenth-centry-style grog, try a black blended rum. For a more refined grog as served at Smuggler's Cove, choose a blended aged rum.
