About the Fog Cutter
Trader Vic's own verdict: 'Fog Cutter, hell. After two of these, you won't even see the stuff.'
Missing something?
- No White Rum? Use Gold Rum (A little richer)
- No White Rum? Use Cachaça (Grassier and funkier)
- No Brandy? Use Cognac (Cognac is a brandy, so it is a straight swap)
- No Brandy? Use Pisco (Unaged and more floral)
- No Gin? Use Old Tom Gin (Sweeter and rounder, so cut the syrup a little)
- No Gin? Use Genever (Maltier and rounder)
- No Orange Juice? Use Orange (Squeeze fresh: 1 orange gives about 70 ml)
- No Orange Juice? Use Blood Orange Juice (Berry-like and deep red)
- No Lemon Juice? Use Lemon (Squeeze fresh: 1 lemon gives about 30 ml)
- No Lemon Juice? Use Lime Juice (Sharper, different aroma)
