Christmas lights on the Arkansas state capitol building, shining out through a heavy fog...
I'm heading off to visit relatives in Charleston tomorrow, so I might not be able to check in that often. If not, hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, or a Hanukkah, or whatever you want to celebrate!
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.

Foggy landscape in Lombardy, northern Italy. While fog in the region was very common in earlier times now it is quite rare.
Beijing has crazy smog quite often recently. Time to think about moving to some other place for work...

THE fog comes 霧踏著
on little cat feet. 小貓腳步而來。
It sits looking 靜靜蹲坐
over harbor and city 細細俯視
on silent haunches 海港和城市
and then moves on. 然後再起行
by Carl Sandburg1878-1967
...e quel momento imbarazzante in cui sei accucciato per scattare una foto, di notte in un parco deserto, e ti accorgi che hai qualcuno nell'inquadratura

The fog you see in the photo was actually from a control burn they did in Jonathan Dickinson State Park the day before. It was very early in the moring and the sky was full of color. I had to stop and shoot this perfect opportunity.
We got up earlier to explore before most visitors had a chance to arrive. The area was covered in fog for a long while, so we delayed our climb of Wyna Picchu.
My friend Cam and I were driving toward a friend's house and discovered this layer of fog over Lake Tahoe Blvd by the local high school.
I snapped this photo as we turned to head back to the car, where we were met by a South Tahoe Sheriff.
