Drink Recipe

Vernon's Grog

A straightforward, old-school grog: molasses-forward dark rum softened with plenty of water, brightened by fresh lemon and rounded with a pinch of cinnamon. It looks like a pale amber mugful and drinks smoothly, warming the throat when served hot or offering a light, refreshing sip when served cool. Worth trying if you want a low-effort, comforting rum drink with balanced sweetness and citrus lift.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Dark Rum
  • 8 oz Water
  • 1 tsp Demerara Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 pinch Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Pour the dark rum into a mug or a glass, depending on your temperature preference for the drink.
  2. Add the demerara sugar to the rum and stir until it begins to dissolve.
  3. Introduce the fresh lemon juice into the mixture, enhancing the tang.
  4. Fill the mug or glass with either cool or hot water, depending on whether you desire a warm or refreshing drink.
  5. Stir thoroughly to ensure the sugar has fully dissolved, creating an even mix.
  6. For an extra layer of flavor, sprinkle in a pinch of cinnamon, stirring gently to incorporate it into the mixture.
