For me it's just straight rum:
- Sailor Jerry
- Kraken
- Blackheart
- Captain Morgan
Darker rums and ales for me, most of the time. I've found several beers brewed with the type of spices one might find in the 18th century, feels very appropriate.
My preferred rum is Kraken.
I've been meaning to make some grog though, for the hell of it. If anyone else feels like giving it a go, here's the recipe Rare sent out to Youtubers and Streamers along with other goodies;
1 oz. lime juice
1 oz. brown sugar
1 oz. dark rum
4 oz. water
1; Add the brown sugar to your shaker, add a splash of warm water (1 oz) to dissolve the sugar and add lime juice.
2; Put in rum, rest of the water and ice.
3; Shake.
4; Pour over smashed ice.
5; Serve.
