First real "Grog" last night.

[Bubba1235]

I had an opportunity to drink "grog" last night and gave it a try. Ummm, different would be my best description. I am told there are many variations, mine was:

Beer brought to a boil, cinnamon, a bit of sugar, lime and lemon juice and a double shot of rum all added to a large mug, beer poured over everything and stir.

It was ok/good but I suspect a cool fall day would make it better. It's not something I would want more than one of.

Sounds about as good as the moose milk we made for the new years levee back in the 80's

Had some Grog in Corpus Christi about 13 years ago. Sounds like it was something completely different. As far as I remember.......

The real grog, as rationed by His Majesty's Navy, was about half water and half good Jamaican rum.
