Alabama Fogcutter cocktail recipe
You’d be hard pressed to find this late 19th century cocktail anywhere in Australia (although if you do know of a bar that serves it, add a comment below) but we did come across it at The Victoria Room. Served in a tall glass, this is like an old-school tiki drink that combines rum (the staple of tiki drinks) with cognac and gin and a variety of fruit juices. It might not cut through fog but it’ll certainly give you a buzz.
Here’s the recipe that The Victoria Room gave us:
Ingredients:
- 30ml Havana Blanco rum
- 20ml Remy Martin VSOP cognac
- 10ml Beefeater gin
- 30ml orange juice
- 15ml lemon juice
- 15ml lime juice
- 10ml orgeat syrup (which is made with almonds)
Method:
Shake and strain ingredients into a highball glass. Fill with ice, garnish with a sprig of mint and two cherries tied together and then drizzle 10ml of Pedro Ximenez sherry over drink.
Voila!

Tiki Lounge & Bar in Richmond, Victoria serves an adaption of the Trader Vic’s Fogcutter although I am yet to try it.

Thanks for that — I’ve never seen a tiki bar like that in Sydney. I’ll actually be in Melbourne next week, so I might check it out …
Grandmas small bar on Clarence St in Sydney serves a good one
There are three bars (2 in Perth, one in Melbourne) owned by the same people.
Devilles Pad
Hula-Bula
The LuWow (Melbourne)
They all do fog cutters, and the bottom two are tiki bars.
