Editing Grog (section)

==Modern usage==
Modern versions of the drink are often made with hot or boiling water, and sometimes include [[lemon juice]], [[lime juice]], [[cinnamon]], or [[sugar]] to add flavor. Additionally in the United States, [[apple cider]] is sometimes substituted for water.{{citation needed|date=July 2018}} [[Rum]] with water, [[sugar]], and [[nutmeg]] was known as [[bumbo]] and was more popular with [[Piracy|pirates]] and merchantmen. In [[Cape Verde]], ''[[grogue]]'' is a distilled spirit made of [[sugarcane]], similar to rum. In Australia and New Zealand, the word has come to mean any alcoholic drink; in [[Australian Aboriginal English]] in particular, the term "grog" is extremely commonly used, to the point of appearing outside of casual use, such as in surveys and official documents.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Isa |first1=Nadia |title=New app a 'game changer' to gauge realistic drinking habits |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-07-19/drinking-app-game-changer-for-indigenous-communities/11313562 |website=ABC News |access-date=15 March 2023 |language=en-AU |date=18 July 2019}}</ref>

In [[Northern Germany]], ''grog'' is a "classic winter drink from [[East Frisia]]" made of rum, sugar and water and heated to boiling point.<ref>{{cite web |title=Grog |url=https://www.chefkoch.de/rezepte/1570481264572257/Grog.html |website=Chefkoch.de |language=de}}</ref>  In [[Sweden]] and some [[subculture]]s within the [[English-speaking world]], ''grogg'' is a common description of drinks not made to a recipe, but by mixing various kinds of alcoholic and soft drinks, fruit juice or similar ingredients. In Sweden, the mixture is usually between 5:1 and 1:1 of [[soft drink]]/[[Cordial (drink)|cordial]] and spirit. The difference between Swedish grog and [[long drink]]s, [[mixed drink]]s, or [[Punch (drink)|punches]] is the number of ingredients. The number of ingredients in drinks may vary, but grog typically has just one kind of liquor (most commonly [[vodka]] or [[brännvin]], but others like [[rum]], [[whisky]], [[Cognac (brandy)|cognac]], or [[eau de vie]] are also used), and one kind of a non-alcoholic beverage. While there are no standard recipes, some varieties are commonly known:
* ''Grosshandlargrogg'' ("wholesaler grog") refers to a mix of eau de vie and [[Sockerdricka]].
* ''Musöppnare'' is mixed by adding [[orange juice]] to brännvin until the taste of alcohol disappears.
* ''Vargtass'' ("Wolf's paw") is a mix of brännvin and [[lingon]] [[Cordial (drink)|cordial]].

In other parts of [[Europe]], notably the [[Netherlands]], [[Belgium]], and [[France]], ''grog'' is used for a [[hot drink]], usually made of [[black tea]], lemon juice, honey and a splash of rum{{citation needed|date=January 2023}}. It is a popular winter drink, said to be a remedy for the [[common cold]] in Belgium and France<ref>{{cite web|title=Hoe maak ik de perfecte grog?|url=https://radio2.be/de-madammen/hoe-maak-ik-de-perfecte-grog}}</ref> or for [[flu]] in the Netherlands.<ref>{{cite web|title=Helpt kippensoep of grog écht als je griep hebt?|date=17 February 2016|url=https://www.margriet.nl/fitengezond/gezondheid/helpt-kippensoep-grog-echt-als-griep-hebt/}}</ref>
