The Coffee Grog is said to have been invented by Raymond Beaumont Gantt, a legendary bar owner in Hollywood. He is said to have founded the tiki culture.
A combination of brandy, coffee, dark rum, cinnamon and cardamom, the coffee cocktail is a fine drink to sip on and enjoy the caffeinated taste.
It is said that the Coffee Grog has several variations and the most popular of them is the one with butter and lots of whole spices added to the mix.
• ¼ cup coffee • 1 cup dark rum • ½ cup brandy • 30 ml unsalted butter • A pinch of ground nutmeg • A pinch of ground clove • A pinch of ground cinnamon • 2 tsp sugar • Lemon slice
In a glass, add all the liquid ingredients and give it a good mix. Then, add butter, nutmeg, clove, cinnamon and sugar. Mix the concoction well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Lastly, garnish it with lemon slice. You can switch it for orange peel as well.
