We really ended up using about half rum to the cider / water mix. It was fantastic.

Certainly a good winter drink, but this is really a cider punch, not a grog. To retain grogginess, you’d need more than 20% rum to cut your cider/water mix.

Any empire-builder using the featured recipe to fuel his or her navy will be plagued with mutiny.

It’s definitely in the same family, that’s for sure, but note the differences. From Cooks.com:

HOT MULLED APPLE JUICE OR CIDER
1/2 gallon of apple cider
a 1 inch knob of fresh ginger
1 whole lemon, cut in quarters
1 whole orange, cut in quarters
1 or 2 (2″) cinnamon sticks
pinch of allspice (optional)
5 whole cloves
Combine ingredients in a non-aluminum saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
