Pirate's Potation is a term used to describe a type of alcoholic beverage that was popular among pirates in the 17th and 18th centuries. The two most common types of Pirate's Potation were RUM and GROG. RUM is an alcoholic beverage made from sugarcane byproducts, such as molasses, or directly from sugarcane juice, and is usually aged in oak barrels. GROG is a mixture of RUM and water, sometimes with the addition of lime juice or other flavorings. Both RUM and GROG were staples of pirate life, providing sustenance and a sense of camaraderie.
