Fog Cutter

Trader Vic (Victor Bergeron ) had opened up his saloon (Hinky Dinks) in Emeryville, CA in 1932. Two years later he began experimenting with cocktails and went on a South seas adventure where he embraced the Tahitian culture and after arriving back to the states, his direction was clear, to inject the spirit of the islands into our everyday lives, thus Trader Vic's was born. One of the drinks he made famous was the Fog Cutter which is of course made with Rum, brandy and gin and in my book is a winner, and easy to make even a child could do it. A great summer cocktail to serve at your next barbecue or party. Try and let me know how you like it.

God bless & Cheers,

Rum Daisy

If you've asked the question, what is a daisy beside the flowers planted during springtime, we'll I'll tell you. Daisies are a type of cocktail made with distilled spirits, grenadine and lemon juice, mixed in a shaker and served in in a double cocktail or double rocks or large Old-Fashioned glass. I've had some of these daisies and they're refreshing anytime of the year.

Try it let me know how you like it.

God bless & Cheers,
