Grog was a mixture of Rum, Lime juice, water and sugar.

Pusser's Rum! Yum!
Every Friday in Autumn in the town (home to Blackbeard, and the ECU Pirates) we just moved from was Freeboot Friday (Freebooter being another word for Pirate). You have to love a town that fully embraces its inner-buccaneer.
Though they weren't pirates, I strongly recommedn renting Master and Commander to get a depiction of sea rations at the time.
