Grog, Traditional

The grog is the 1700s cocktail that made sailors see straight and made landlubbers seasick, and did a fine job keeping the scurvy at bay.

What does “grog” mean?

The term “grog” originally referred to a diluted rum drink that was given to British sailors to prevent scurvy in the 1700s. It is said that the drink was named after Admiral Edward Vernon, who was nicknamed “Old Grog” because he wore a grogram coat. When he ordered the dilution of the sailors’ rum rations with water, the drink became known as “grog” in his honor
