Fog Cutter

Name: Fog Cutter
Prep time: 5 min
Yield: 1 serving
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 1.5 oz Light Rum; 0.5 oz Gin; 0.5 oz Brandy; 1 oz Orange Juice; 3 tblsp Lemon Juice; 1.5 tsp Orgeat Syrup

Bright citrus and nutty orgeat sit atop a bold backbone of rum, gin, and brandy, giving the Fog Cutter a complex, tropical flavor with a pleasantly boozy finish. Visually it’s a pale orange Collins topped with a teasing float of sweet sherry that adds aroma and depth. It’s worth trying if you like layered tiki drinks that balance sweet, sour, and spirit-forward elements in a refreshing long format.
