I didn't have this picture in time for Mixology Monday.

0.5 oz sherry


Shake everything except the sherry over ice and strain into a tiki mug filled with crushed ice.
Float the sherry on top.

Mixology Monday - Grape

Is it Mixology Monday already? This week it's being hosted by Rick over at Saving The World, One Drink at a Time. Make sure to check-in over there to catch up on all the posts. I'm going to go with a recipe that uses Sherry in a unexpected and important way.

The Fog Cutter

1.5 oz light rum
0.5 oz brandy
0.5 oz gin
1.5 oz orange juice
0.5 oz lemon juice
0.5 oz orgeat
0.5 oz sherry


Shake everything except the sherry over ice and strain into a tiki mug filled with crushed ice.
Float the sherry on top.

I always thought that sherry was a drink for Dot Branning, not for me. So I tried this drink without the sherry and it just doesn't work. I think good tiki drinks often have a magic and unexpected ingredient that ties the drink together and makes it much more than the sum of its parts. In the Fog Cutter, sherry is the magic ingredient. This drink is really good, but potent. So be careful, or even better, share!
