Grog is one of the most popular drinks in Cape Verde and is produced locally


First Impressions: Upon arriving in Cape Verde, I was greeted with a warm "Welcome!" and a glass of grogue. The first impression? A strong, yet surprisingly smooth flavor that warms the soul and invites another sip.

The Production Process: Grogue is made from sugarcane, grown in the fertile lands of Cape Verde. The cane is first crushed, often still done in the traditional way, with the help of an ox-driven mill. The extracted juice is then fermented and distilled, turning into the famous grogue.

The Art of Distillation: Distillation is an art in Cape Verde. Local producers, many of whom have passed down their knowledge through generations, take pride in the purity and quality of their grogue. Visiting a distillery, I got to see firsthand the care and passion put into every step.

Tasting Tradition: Tasting grogue is more than just drinking; it's a cultural experience. Accompanied by local stories and live music, each sip took me deeper into the rich Cape Verdean culture.

My adventure into the world of grogue was a revelation. More than a drink, it's a symbol of tradition, community, and Cape Verdean pride. If you visit Cape Verde, don't miss the chance to try this local delight.
