Story
Trader Vic name dis cocktail with warning: dem dey call am Fog Cutter (Fog Wey Dey Cut) because afta one, you no go care about fog. Afta two, you no go even notice am. Dis no be lie o—with rum, cognac, and gin wey dey work together, dis na one of di strongest classic drinks for tiki canon. Di taste fine well well even though e strong. Rum dey give di tropical base, cognac dey add grape richness, and gin dey contribute botanical complexity. Orgeat dey bring almond sweetness while di sherry float dey create aromatic, nutty top note. E be like three cocktails wey dey blend for one glass. Dis drink na for people wey get liver—dem wey want complexity and no dey fear strong drink. Better make you enjoy am small small, maybe for foggy San Francisco evening or anytime wey you need liquid courage. PIF Notes: Di sherry float na very important—e dey create aromatic experience and e go prevent di drink make e no boring. No skip am, and no mix am inside.
