The most famous tropical drink in the world, and it was invented only 8.5 miles away at the old Trader Vic’s in Oakland.

The Grog Shop
Grog was invented in 1740 by Admiral Edward “Old Grogram” Vernon of the British Royal Navy when he ordered that the sailors’ daily ration of rum be mixed with water, because “…the pernicious custom of the seaman drinking their allowance of rum, and often at once, is attended with many fatal effects to their morals as well as their health … besides the ill consequences of stupefying their rational qualities …” He even went so far as to suggest that the sailors mix it with lime and sugar, thus perhaps creating the world’s first tropical drink. Over the years, grog has come to refer to a drink with a robust, spicy flavor, and an ample helping of rum.
