Cocktail Description

The Fog Cutter is a liquid United Nations summit, where rum, cognac, and gin negotiate a surprisingly harmonious treaty in your glass.

This sophisticated cocktail balances the grassiness of white rum, the fruity depth of cognac, and the botanical bite of London dry gin with bright citrus and nutty orgeat for a complex sipping experience. The dry amontillado sherry float adds a whisper of oxidized wine character that transforms with each sip. Despite its impressive ingredient list, the Fog Cutter is actually straightforward to make—just shake, strain, and float. It makes a perfect aperitif for dinner parties when you want to showcase your cocktail skills without spending the entire evening playing bartender. Try serving it alongside Spanish tapas like manchego cheese, marcona almonds, or seafood paella—the cocktail's citrus elements and sherry complement these flavors beautifully. For a weekend brunch statement piece, pair it with rich dishes like eggs Benedict or French toast.
