What is grog?
Grog in its classic manifestation is a hot alcoholic drink, whose strength ranges between 15 and 20 degrees.
Any proper grog recipe involves the mandatory boiling of all its ingredients. Otherwise, you will only get a thunderous cocktail.
The basic composition of the drink includes water, rum (preferably dark), sugar and lemon juice.
At the same time, various modifications and additions to the original version are allowed. For example, by replacing sugar with honey, we get honey grog.
You can also replace boiling water with black or green tea, coffee, juices, and even milk. In addition, you can diversify the drink by adding different berries or fruits to it.
If you replace the alcoholic base, you get such apocryphal drinks as cognac grog or whiskey grog.
Finally, many fans of this drink are eager to add a variety of spices to it: cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, mint, ginger, etc.
