Historic Cocktails: Grog and The Bumbo Cocktails

Today we dial back our cocktail history to some of the very first “cocktail” designs. These historic cocktails aren’t going to be the most awesome, but they’re what people used to drink back in the day when rum was just becoming popular.

This is what you should think of when someone says “grog”, but of course that’s not what we think of today. Now, when you look back at where cocktails came from you can see how they’ve improved over time.
