I was in one unit that included desert sand and another that included volcanic ash.
Gotta love the grog, either way. But only in VERY small quantities.

The best Navy Grog I ever had was onboard USS Wichita, it was dark rum and coke. Please don't tell the XO!

Sort of a Peach Brandy.
15 Lb peaches
5 lb sugsar
3 Gallons water
4 months in a hay loft
We worked on a farm when we were off duty. In the fall, after the peach crop was harvested, we collected the ones that were on the ground, put them in a small wooden barrel, and mashed them up. Then we added a five-pound bag of sugar and water. Placed the mix in the barrel and sealed the it. Then we went to the barn, pulled out some hay bails, put the barrel in the spot where they were, and replaced the bails we had moved packing the barrel way inside all the bails.There is a lot of heat in a stack of hay bails why helped the mix to create alocohol That was in September. In late January or early February, we went back and retrieved the barrel. We left the barrel out that night and returned the next morning and retried the barrel and opened it, and skimmed the ice off the top. Then we dumped the liquid which remained through a tee shirt into several clean containers and threw the solids and barrel away. We brought the liquid we had saved back to the barracks and drank it. Locally this is Peach Jack. Removing the ice removed a lot of the water from the batch and raised the alcohol content, much like distilling. We all had pretty low expectations from the stuff we made, but it did make us pretty loose when we drank it.
