A Drink A Day: Fox Trot

A Drink A Day: Fox Trot

“She’s a fox. In French she would be called ‘la renard’ and would be hunted with only her cunning to protect her.” -Wayne’s World

Fox Trot

  • 1/2 oz lemon juice (lime juice can be substituted)
  • 1 1/2 oz light rum
  • 1/2 oz orange curacao

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. To me this tastes a little like Triaminic, the orange-flavored cough syrup for kids. This isn’t necessarily a turn-off; I’m hesitant to say I love the taste of kid’s cough syrup but…have you ever had Triaminic? The orange flavor is so distinct and sweet that I almost wish it worked for adults. It beats Nyquil any day. In either case I greatly enjoyed this drink, especially with sugar cane-based rum.
