Fog Cutter

All right, while I was very excited for a change to the color palette last week, I’m not so sure I want this new red trend to continue. This week we had the Fog Cutter. Check below to see how well it cuts.

• 2 shots Light Rum
• 1 shot Brandy
• 1/2 shot Gin
• 2 shots Lemon Juice
• 1 shot Orange Juice
• Grenadine

The word “Supersweet” begins to describe this drink. The reason I don’t particularly want this trend to continue is because one of the main things that will make beverages red is Grenadine. Grenadine tastes like the “Cherry” syrup flavoring and boy-oh-boy is it ever sweet.

This drink is built in a shaker and then poured over ice. After that, the grenadine is added and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall of it settles to the bottom. Basically, drinking this from a straw is about half a glass of grenadine and then a LOT of diluted alcohol and citrusy juices. I’m sure that if had mixed a little better, it would have benefited greatly. After finishing one, I foolishly ordered another in hopes that it would fare better, I couldn’t even get more than one drink it. This drink made me ill. Unless you really loved cherry snow cones, avoid this drink at all costs.

Yuck.

It gets two for looking nice.
