How to make delicious grog
The universal technology for preparing a drink is as follows:
Determine the ratio of alcoholic and non-alcoholic liquids (as a rule, it ranges from 1:1 to 1:3).
Select additional components (at the same time, you can use both generally accepted proportions and personal preferences).
Bring non-alcoholic liquid to a boil.
Reduce heat, then add sugar and its accompanying ingredients.
Pour alcohol in a thin stream.
Keep the result on fire for a couple of minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved (to speed up the process, the liquid should be constantly stirred with a wooden spoon).
Pour the drink into glasses.

What is grog
Grog in its classic form is a hot alcoholic drink whose strength ranges between 15 and 20 degrees.
Any correct grog recipe implies the obligatory boiling of all its ingredients. Otherwise, you will end up with just a grog-shaped cocktail.
The basic composition of the drink includes water, rum (mostly dark) sugar and lemon juice.
At the same time, various modifications and additions to the original version are allowed. For example, replacing sugar with honey, we get honey grog.
It is also allowed to replace simple boiling water with black or green tea, coffee, juices and even milk. In addition, you can diversify the drink by adding various berries or fruits to it.
When the alcohol base is replaced, such apocryphal drinks as cognac grog or whiskey grog are obtained.
Finally, many lovers of the mentioned drink willingly add various spices to it: cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, mint, ginger, etc.
