The close of the summer Olympics with the phenomenal showings by Team USA coincided with dinner out at a Chinese restaurant. My cocktail 'mixed' with conversation about the weather at the Olympic site so I decided to call it a "London Fog Cutter"
The original recipe called for gin and lemon juice. Originally gin was used in many cocktails because it was the lightest tasting clear liquor. Today vodka has replaced gin and it makes a smoother tasting drink.
• ½ oz. rum
• ½ oz. brandy
• ½ oz. vodka
• 1 oz. sweet and sour
• 1 oz. orange juice
• ½ oz. orgeat syrup
• Dash of sherry
• Mint sprig garnish Shake and strain
