Blackbeard's Galley & Grog - closed

I'm sensing a consistency in searching out themed-restaurants from the 70s. Most exist only in souvenir sales on amazon, ebay, and memories on pinterest. Blackbeard's Galley & Grog is no exception.

Surprisingly scant information to be found, some bloggers say the restaurant didn't survive the 70s. It was part of the tiki bar craze of the same era. Ashtrays, logoed glasses, matchbooks, and menus seem to be all that is left.

Except this: the recipe for Pirate Grog exists on many different foodie sites, which looks like maybe your could get for $2.75, above. Too bad Shark's Tooth wasn't included in this recipe book.

Pirate Grog
  • 1 1/2 oz. light rum
  • 1/2 oz.  apricot brandy
  • 1/2 oz. Falernum
  • 2 oz. sweet and sour mix
  • 1 oz. orange juice
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • 1/2 oz. dark rum
  • 1 green cocktail cherry (edit: do these even exist anymore?)
  • 1 maraschino cherry
  • 1 pineapple chunk
Pour all ingredients except dark rum, pineapple and cherries into a cocktail shaker. Shake well. Pour into tall glass. float dark rum on drink. Garnish with fruit.
