Okay, here is the story.
After a very bad Friday, which included work, an hour long MRI (with contrast), and a traffic jam home to the Jersey Shore in July… I needed something to keep me from going on a killing spree.
I was checking out movies to see this weekend and I was split between seeing The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen with Sean Connery or Pirates of the Carribean with Johnny Depp. I made the call by going to each one of their sites - Pirates won out because of Johnny Depp’s “Keith Richard’s like” perfomance.
Inspired by the movie and having a real alcholic need for DRINK. I found the recipe for grog.
Historically, grog is a citrus drink made with rum to keep sailors from getting scurvy. It combines four elements: Limes/lemons (sour), Sugar (sweet), Rum (strong), and Water (weak).
After a tankard of this stuff I was ready to sack and pillage the nearest town. I suggest you use 151 Bacardi or Bacardi Gold.
