Hazardous ingredients

Giffard Orgeat Syrup is potentially hazardous to those with allergy or intolerance.

Review:

Don't be fooled by this seemingly innocuous orange-yellow long, fruity cocktail. It packs a serious punch with sweet almond notes masking its rum, gin and brandy.

History:

A Tiki classic credited to Victor Bergeron. It appears in his 1972 Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide (revised edition) accompanied by his "TV" logo signifying that this is a Trader Vig signature cocktail. Above the recipe, he remarks, "Fog Cutter, hell. After two of these, you won't even see the stuff."

Fog Cutter
2 ounces light Puerto Rican rum
