Grog

He walked around the deck in bad weather in an old waterproof Cape (in English — grogram cloak), which was nicknamed the Old Grok. The sailors were given about 280 ml of rum daily as a prophylactic against scurvy. However, this amount of alcohol had a negative impact on discipline. So Vice Admiral Vernon introduced a rule of rum to dilute with water (hot or cold), and add lemon juice.
Ingredients: 1 liter of strong black tea, 120 ml of cherry juice, 3 cloves, 1 cinnamon stick, 1 star ante, 2 peas of allspice, ½ lemon, honey to taste.
