Fog Cutter

Description

Fog Cutter works best when it is treated as more than a list of ingredients. The danger with tropical drinks is that they can become all juice and no direction. Here, Light Rum, Gin, Brandy and Lemon Juice give the serve a clearer shape: fruit for generosity, acidity for snap and spirit for warmth.

The result should feel abundant and sunny, but still balanced enough that you want a second sip rather than a glass of syrup.
