It dates from the middle 1600s. One ounce lime juice, 2 ounces sugar syrup, three ounces strong rum, four ounces water. The original recipe: One of sour, two of sweet, three of strong and four of weak. If you are serving Royal Marines it should be four ounces of rum.

Wolf. Tomorrow is my birthday and I will have the rare privilege of having a Rhodesian Sewage.
