- "What in the Seven Seas is that?"
"Yuck. That'll put me off me grog for a fortnight." - ―Pirate Guard Chief and Lefty
Grog was an alcoholic beverage, a mixture of hot rum and water with an occasional sprinkling of spices.
History[]
Grog was used in the British Royal Navy during the Age of Piracy. When a surgeon named Grogan got drunk from grog, he accidentally severed the leg of a Navy officer.[1]
During the time when Jack Sparrow was trapped in Davy Jones' Locker, he brought another pirate a combination of Grog from Fiddler's Green.[2]
Behind the scenes[]

- Grog is first mentioned in Thurl Ravenscroft's 1966 narration recorded for Walt Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean ride.[3] Grog makes its first known appearance in the 2006 video game adaptation for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.[4]
- In the Pirates of the Caribbean Online official website, the "Grog Blog" was a blog where the team of developers posts news bulletins relating to game events and content.[5]
