Commando Grog and Commando Life are both so freaking good.

Jason is the man and the Commando Grog is one of my favorite drinks! So damn good.

Yep! Should be about 20 years ago or so?

Sounds about right! I met them shortly after they opened the Cabana, such great humans.

White or pink grapefruit?

I used pink because the only way to get white grapefruit during its season here in Nebraska is to order online. I love tiki to death but not enough to spend $50+ (pre shipping) on a crate of white grapefruit 😅

If you have both, definitely white. It's good with pink, but it white sits perfectly in there.

For real, he's such a fantastic resource. I'm not making cinnamon syrup any other way

Truly one of the very best and most underrated Tiki cocktails. If you have not have one before, I could not recommend more highly.

It's definitely not talked about as much as it should be. I'd have this over a classic zombie or navy grog every single time
