Advanced Palate

The Fog Cutter is a classic Trader Vic tiki cocktail. It’s also terribly unbalanced. So I wanted to see if I could use some modern techniques to create a riff on the this classic that’s a little more in line with the modern palate and presented in a more craft way.

Editor's Note

A refined, dry-leaning riff on the Fog Cutter. Amontillado sherry and acid-adjusted orange juice transform the classic tiki template into a sophisticated, modern sour.
