Homemade grog recipe made from rum. Grog is a rum drink that gives warmth and joy every day.

Autumn has passed its halfway point, and the time has come for mulled wine, punch and grog. Nothing invigorates you on a gray, foggy morning, warms you up on a frosty day, or drives away an incipient cold like a cup of hot and fragrant drink. Take a sip and the alcohol flows through your veins like a warm wave, giving you a feeling of comfort.

This drink was very fond of the Germanic tribes and received the German name “mulled wine”. Well, later they began to replace wine with stronger alcohol. In this article we will tell you how to prepare grog at home. Making this drink is very simple, the process does not take much time. But grog (if consumed within reasonable limits) is very useful. It strengthens the immune system, invigorates, improves mood, and improves overall tone.

A little history

Grog is a drink consisting of strong alcohol and water. IN classic version The base was rum. Why would anyone dilute this pirate drink with water? The fact is that until July 1970, rum was included in the daily ration of a British sailor. Drinking this type of alcohol was believed to prevent scurvy. But in the eighteenth century, the rum ration was serious: two hundred and forty milliliters of eighty-proof alcohol. It is not surprising that after him the sailors were drawn to various feats: starting a mutiny on a ship or boarding a ship. Admiral Edward Vernon decided to put an end to rampant drunkenness. The sailors behind his back called him “Old Grog” (translated as “old cloak”). It cannot be said that the sea wolves were delighted with the resulting drink. Moreover, the admiral diluted the rum significantly: he added four times more water than alcohol. But the British appreciated this drink. I just needed to heat the water.

Later the drink acquired many variations. It is prepared using hot tea or even wine. Rum is sometimes replaced with vodka, cognac, whiskey and even absinthe. Lemon, cinnamon, and nutmeg, cloves, pepper, ginger. Since the British drink tea with milk, it soon emerged with cream. But let's focus on the classics first.

Squeeze two lemons into the water, pour a glass of dark rum in a thin stream (Bacardi and Jamaican varieties are best suited for grog). Sweeten the drink to taste with cane sugar.

The grog received its name in honor of the admiral’s waterproof cape - his constant companion, which in English was called “grogram cloak”.
