Grog is a hot drink made with rum, a sweetener such as sugar or honey and boiling
water. Grog is served in a ceramic or glass mug and often garnished with a slice of lemon
and a few whole cloves. It has long been considered a curative for colds but is generally
consumed simply for its pleasure- and warmth-giving properties.
Ingredients
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 sugar cube
Slice of lemon, studded with 3 cloves
Strip of orange peel
1 jigger golden rum
Boiling water
Cinnamon stick
Method
In a glass or mug, combine the lemon juice, sugar lump, a clove studded lemon slice,
strip of orange peel, and golden rum. Add boiling water to fill the mug and stir the drink
with a cinnamon stick. Serves one.
