Sherry in the Fog Cutter - Tiki Drinks and Food

I've had many of them at the restaurants and have frequently made them at home. While Trader Vic's 1947 "Bartender's Guide by Trader Vic" doesn't specify the type of sherry his 1972 "Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide" states that one should use sweet sherry. I've made it at home with Dry Sack (dry sherry of course!) and cream sherry (sweet) and agree with the trader, the sweet sherry float makes for a more flavorful drink. With dry sherry I find the Fog Cutter flavor to be delicate and that it doesn't leave much of an impression besides the after effects of the alcohol.
