How did grog originate?

Initially created as a remedy for sailors to improve the taste of foul-smelling drinking water stored in barrels during voyages and to combat cold and bad weather, this alcoholic delicacy quickly spread worldwide as a traditional and beloved drink.

The history of Grog dates back to the 18th century, when British Admiral Edward Vernon ordered sailors' rum to be diluted with water and lemon juice to combat scurvy. This drink proved so popular that it became known as "grog" in honor of the admiral. Over the years, Grog has been enriched with spices like cloves and cinnamon, which enhanced its flavor and warming properties.
