Shortly thereafter, Navy Grog was served twice a day on deck and became a defining part of ship life. The drink was so popular that the British Royal Navy continued issuing “special rum allowances” until 1970. Americans dropped the rum ration...
...recipe for Grog has changed considerably from its original ship-deck version. The mixture of different types of rum gives the drink a more complex flavor, and the abundance of fruit juices makes it palatable to less-seasoned drinkers. Experiment with different flavors of juice—grapefruit and guava are popular—and different mixtures of liquors. If you’re feeling cheap (or minimalist), try using just one or two types...
