Special instructions:
Grog has varied in strength throughout history, but vice-admiral Eward Vernon, the inventor of grog and a supporter of sailor's rights, first made grog with these measurements. At first, grog consisted of just rum and water, but it didn't take long for lemon juice and sugar to be added for flavor. It wasn't until 1851, roughly one hundred years after its invention, that other condiments were officially added. A sailor's daily ration of grog consisted of the equivalent of 8 double shots of whiskey.Pour the rum into the container of your choice. A mug is suggested if a hot beverage is desired, but a glass works for a cool drink. Real Jamaican rum has the strong flavor that's desired for grog. Add sugar. Brown sugar can work as a substitute; white sugar is too flavorless to work well. Add a good tablespoon of lemon juice. Add cool or boiling water, depending on choice. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. For extra flavor, cinnamon, in the form of a stick or powder, can be added. One stick or a pinch of powdered cinnamon is sufficient.
