According to Jones' complete barguide[1] a London Fog is a drink made in a cocktail glass with 1¾ oz. of gin and ½ oz. of Pernod on frappe style crushed ice.
More recently London Fog is the name of a drink which originated in Vancouver, although who the creator is remains unknown, among several claims. One such claim is from the Island Coffeehouse in Langley, Washington, a non-profit student run organization, where it was originally made with Peppermint Tea. It is common in Washington and Oregon, as well as in the neighboring lower mainland of Canada.
The "London Fog" was recently the subject of an investigation on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's afternoon show "Freestyle (radio program)."
