The Fog Cutter appeared earlier in Vic's 1946 "Book of Food & Drink." Same recipe as quoted above, with NO pisco. Smuggler's Cove replaces all of the cognac with a full ounce of pisco; this is kinda like replacing the rum with arrack, and I wrote off the Fog Cutter as a shipwreck the first time I made it. Not sure replacing just half the cognac with pisco is all that much better. Tonight I followed Vic more closely (NO pisco), cutting Vic's 2 oz rum to a less keel-hauling 1.5 oz and balancing the orange and lemon juice at 1.5 oz each (I might even go to 2 oz orange : 1 oz lemon). A much more deserving concoction to serve in an appropriate (or inappropriate) tiki mug!
