Grog traces its roots back to the British Royal Navy in the 18th century. To prevent scurvy and stretch their rum rations, Admiral Edward Vernon ordered that rum be diluted with water and citrus juice. The result was 'grog'—a drink that kept sailors hydrated, healthy, and in good spirits on long voyages. Over the centuries, grog evolved, inspiring countless variations and becoming a staple in tiki bars worldwide. The original formula’s balance of sweet, sour, and strong flavors continues to charm drinkers and history buffs alike.
