I think the Fogcutter, and especially the pictured Tiki Ti version, is a really great drink but also misunderstood.

The drink only has two problems as I can tell. One is a persons reaction to the question "What's in a Fogcutter?" It's three liquor mix of Gin, Rum & Brandy turn a lot of customers off right away. The second is the inconsistency of the different versions offered at establishments. Just like a Mai Tai can be altered, the Fogcutter was and is often "special receiped" as well. Lime or Lemon juice, (I've even tasted one with orange juice!), etc.

But I've long felt that it's the perfect "Tropical Drink" on a warm afternoon or evening because it's not overly syrupy, just the right mix of tart & sweet making it very refreshing. Mike Buhen tells me that the Fogcutter was the most popular drink at the Tiki Ti, until his Dad poured the wrong syrups and his customers found out that the "Ray's Mistake" tasted really good!

So I say give it a try, experiment on your own, you just might like it!
