#4: Fog Cutter

Following the uniquely designed "Hell in the Pacific" is another unusual drink, "Fog Cutter".  It was designed in the 90s when Tiki Culture was starting to make a comeback.  Containing light rum, lemon and orange, this one has a citrus tangy flavor to it.  Tonga Hut goes with the Trader Vic / Grog Log recipe, which is as follows:

  • 2oz light Puerto Rican rum
  • 1/2oz gin
  • 1oz brandy
  • 1oz orange juice
  • 2oz lemon juice
  • 1/2oz orgeat syrup
  • 1/2oz sherry

Shake everything (except the sherry) with ice, pour unstrained.  While this drink is usually served with a floater of sweet sherry on top to give it the sweet-edge, Tonga Hut instead garnishes the drink with a stick of rock candy.  A zealous visitor decided to photobomb this moment with some VitaCoco.
