#128 Cocktail: Fog Cutter

      Because we are almost at the half of the summer, I will stay at this tiki type of drinks which are so good on these hot days.
      "The Fog Cutter is another of those classic cocktails from the "Tiki Era" of the 50's through the 80's that has withstood the test of time. The drink was originally created at a Hollywood bar called Don the Beachcomber's by the then head barman Tony Ramos. The battle in those days between Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic for supremacy naturally had an effect on many of the "Tiki Cocktails" of the era. In the case of the Fog Cutter, it seems that the marketing skills of Trader Vic won out as far as history goes. Between the Special mugs (Now worth a small fortune) and the way it was presented at the bars, the cocktail that Tony Ramos created is solidly in the stable of Trader Vic."
