This is the Fog Cutter, a classic tiki cocktail created by Trader Vic in the early 1940's. While the Zombie would characterize Donn Beach's maximalist secretive approach to his tiki creations, I feel like the Fog Cutter shows Trader Vic's mixing style best. Trader Vic would readily grab ingredients from Europe like orgeat and lemon. While this drink looks "Old World" on paper, it's distinctly tropical. As for the naming it the Fog Cutter, Trader Vic said, "Hell, after two of these, you won't even see the stuff"
I'll admit that my first attempt at this concoction was underwhelming. The flavor profile was so busy that the nuance of the other ingredients were lost to the odd juice proportions. It wasn't until I found Paul McGee's retooled version that I fell in love with this drink. Below is Trader Vic's original version.
2 oz fresh lemon juice (!!)
1 oz fresh orange juice
0.5 oz orgeat
2 oz white cuban-style rum
1 oz Cognac
0.5 oz gin
0.5 oz cream sherry (as a float)
McGee's version made three important changes. The first is dialing back lemon juice to normal levels. Second is swapping the light rum for rhum agricole. This pivots the drink's profile to be a rum focused drink. The rhum agricole's grassy profile can shine through more distinctly. Lastly, he substituted dry curaçao for the orange juice. Orange juice tends to dominate a drink's flavor profile. McGee's version, in my mind, finishes what Trader Vic started, a complex, tropical old-world-meets-the-caribbean cocktail.
1 oz rhum agricole
0.5 oz Cognac
0.5 oz London dry gin
1 oz fresh lemon juice
0.5 oz dry curaçao (I recommend Pierre Ferrand)
0.75 oz orgeat
0.5 oz amontillado sherry
Combine all of the ingredients into a shaker tin. Add ice and shake until arctic cold. Strain into an ice filled chilled collins glass or tiki mug. Garnish with a orange half-wheel, mint, umbrella, whatever you feel like.

An item in my small collection of tiki. Front side of the TEPCO Hula Girl Mug. This mug is similar in style to the earlier 1940s era Trader Vic's Samoan Fog Cutter Mug. And the "Sail with Harvey's" seems to have been based somewhat on this design too.

Since the sun was on the "other" side of the airport, I thought I'd come over here and take some pictures. By doing so I had the pleasure of meeting Dave Budd and Randall Johnson. (Thanks for the use of the ladder!)
Continuing muggy weather in Los Angeles means four straight weekends of LAX planespotting for me!
