Pirate's Grog is a golden rum from Roatan, an island 129 km off the coast of Honduras.[1] It is distributed in the UK by Pirate's Grog Rum Ltd, and named after the first recorded version of a mixed drink called 'grog', which was created by Sir Admiral Edward Vernon in 1740. To create 'grog' one quart of water would be added to half a pint of navy strength rum (57% ABV).[2] Thus creating a rum with strength of around 37.5% ABV. Lime and sugar would also be added to the drink for sweetness and to help wade off scurvy.
