The Fog Cutter is a classic tiki cocktail that is believed to have been created by Victor Bergeron at Trader Vic’s in San Francisco, California. Several variations of the recipe exist, but it’s traditionally made with a split base of rum, brandy, gin, and sherry and paired with citrus and orgeat, an almond-flavored syrup and go-to tiki ingredient.
