Yes, the origins of Grog date back to the 1700s. On sailing vessels. But that won’t stop a self-professed snow lover from calling this an après-ski drink of choice, now will it? The lime helped sailors with scurvy, the rum helped them while away the months at sea, and the sugar made the barrel-stored water taste a little less nasty. But high up in ski country, it’s just a darn fine rum drink served hot to soothe those tired legs after a long day on the slopes.
