Today we’ll make the Fog Cutter! This was one of Trader Vic’s most popular drinks during the classic tiki era. With multiple base spirits, juices, and syrup - this drink is dangerous. My version of the cocktail is inspired by a few different variations, while still maintaining the spirit of Trader Vic’s original recipe. Hope you all enjoy this one! Cheers!
