    Back to the Grog.  My significant other for about 20 years was Norwegian and her family had their own version of Grog that they made themselves.  It was wine based but spiked with some other liquors like vodka and scotch.  Also had a lot of fruit added (oranges, orange peel, apple etc.) and she mixed it in a big pot on the stove.  The fruit was strained out and then it was bottled and aged for a while.  Usually drunk hot, we used to take a thermos with us cross country skiing and have a warm drink on the trail.  I never really liked it but had to keep my mouth shut and it was potent.  So, I guess "Grog" can be many things to different cultures.

    I remember growing up in MN consuming a “grog” beverage consisting of brandy and Peppermint Schnapps.  It was called Snowshoe and sold commercially.  There were many cold winter days that I kept a bottle in my pocket.
