About this recipe

Don’t be put off by something that sounds like it’s been brewed in a witches’ cauldron. The Grog cocktail is a delicious mix of rum, lime juice and honey that’s suitable for both warm weather and wintry parties – and there’s not a frog’s leg in sight. There may be no frog in our Grog, but as with many rum-based cocktails, the Grog recipe does have watery origins. On the high seas – and way back in the mists of time – Vice Admiral Edward Vernon introduced this delicious drink to his British Navy crew. The lime was initially included because sailors lacked Vitamin C in their diet, but the combo proved so delicious it’s still in demand today. Meanwhile, Vice Admiral Vernon became known as ‘Old Grog’, and takes credit for the name. You can serve a Grog to your own ‘crew’ at your next house party – the delicious taste will convert them and the rum and honey can be pre-mixed in a row of glasses. Just add lime juice and a dash of bitters at the last minute to keep the cocktails fresh and above board. When throwing your cocktail party save the lime juice and bitters for the Grog. Because once everyone knows the ropes, the Grog makes a surprising maritime hit to enjoy with your fellow land lubbers. If you have more time on your hands during the holiday season, why not go tropical? Back in the 1940s Grog was revived from its groggy sleep by Trader Vic’s and the Tiki crowd - renowned for over-the-top Hawaiian drinks. They threw in all the juices they could get their hands on - including pineapple, grapefruit and orange. So add plenty of fruit to a bowl and make that punch after all – a Grog punch certainly won’t sink as your party centrepiece.
