Description
Live from Brooklyn’s Sunken Harbor Club, we proudly present: The Fog Cutter… and so much more! That’s right, it’s an episode of firsts and threes: the first Cocktail College recorded in front of a (sell-out) crowd; our first time featuring three guests (and audience questions); not one, not two, but three cocktails (at least one of which contains three base spirits, and a sherry float for good measure). Get ready for Garret Richard on the Fog Cutter, Scarlet Fog, and advanced cocktail techniques; Carlos Perez on his very own Brain Fog riff; and St. John Frizell on that drink’s newly launched, eponymous mug — a Sunken Harbor Club first!    Garret Richard’s Fog Cutter Recipe    Ingredients  - 1 orange wheel  - 1 ounce Denizen White rum  - ¾ ounce brandy (Capurro Pisco)  - ¼ ounce Ford’s Gin  - ½ ounce fresh lemon juice  - 1 teaspoon Orgeat (Beachbum Berry’s Latitude 29)  - Lemon punch syrup (mix of oleo saccharum, fresh lemon juice, sugar, and citric acid)  - Almond extract  - Saline solution  - Float: ½ ounce Harvey’s Bristol Cream sherry    Directions  1. Muddle orange wheel in a Collins glass and set aside.  2. Add rum, pisco, gin, lemon juice, orgeat, lemon punch, almond extract, and saline solution to a mixing tin.  3. Flash blend with ice.  4.
