Grog and seasonal drinks: Traditions and recipes

grog rum British Royal Navy Edward Vernon seasonal drinks

Grog is a traditional hot beverage popular in northern regions, consisting of rum, hot water, and sugar. The drink has historical roots in the British Royal Navy, where Vice-Admiral Edward Vernon reportedly ordered the dilution of sailors' rum rations with water and lemon juice in 1740 for health reasons. While some historians view the connection to Vernon’s nickname, “Old Grog,” as legend, others suggest the name may be an abbreviation for “Grand Rum Of Grenada."
