Rum Barrels, too. Those are big winners with the missus here 'round the house.

One of my favorites!! The easy way and more potent is delete the sherry from the fog cutter and float a 1/2oz of akavit/aquavit on top of the Fog cutter. Viking Fog Cutter 2oz lemon juice 1oz OJ 1/2 orgeat 1oz white Puerto Rican rum 1/2oz brandy 1/2oz gin Shake with ice, pour into tall glass and float a 1/2oz akavit/akvavit/ aquavit on top. From Intoxica!

(maybe i'll wait and try it out on the 17th of May) [ Edited by: thePorpoise 2011-04-28 22:56 ]

It's sneaky as hell.

Thing is you don't actually feel it till you've finished the damn thing then it hits when you stand up. "I could be a professional writer if I put my mind to it.
